2 Corinthians 6:11 to 2 Corinthians 7:16. The Restored Relationship between Paul and the Corinthians must be Sealed by Proof of their Loyalty.
2 Corinthians 6:11-13. The openness of his speech is an indication of the largeness of his heart towards them. It is not true that they are shut up in a corner by him; any constraint that they feel is really due to the narrowness of their own affection. He therefore appeals to them to meet and reward his overflowing confidence and affection by a corresponding widening of their hearts towards him.
