2 Corinthians 6:13

_ _ Translate, “As a recompense in the same kind ... be enlarged also yourselves” [Ellicott]. “In the same way” as my heart is enlarged towards you (2 Corinthians 6:11), and “as a recompense” for it (Galatians 4:12).

_ _ I speak as unto my children — as children would naturally be expected to recompense their parents’ love with similar love.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 6:11-18.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 6:13

Be ye also enlarged — Open your hearts, first to God, and then to us, so 2 Corinthians 8:5, that God may "dwell in you," 2 Corinthians 6:16; 2 Corinthians 7:1; and that ye may "receive us," 2 Corinthians 7:2.
