Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
Receive us - with enlarged hearts (2 Corinthians 6:13).
We have wronged ... corrupted ... defrauded no man (cf. 2 Corinthians 7:9) - the ground on which he asks their reception of him in their hearts. We wronged none by punishing him who did wrong (2 Corinthians 7:12). This he proceeds to treat. We have corrupted none-namely, by beguilements, while preaching "another gospel," as the false teachers (2 Corinthians 11:3-4). This he treats from 2 Corinthians 10:1. We have defrauded none by 'making a gain' of you (2 Corinthians 8:19-20; 2 Corinthians 12:14-17). This he treats from 2 Corinthians 12:13. Modestly he leaves them to supply the positive good which he had done; suffering all things himself that they might be benefited (2 Corinthians 7:9; 2 Corinthians 7:12; positive good which he had done; suffering all things himself that they might be benefited (2 Corinthians 7:9; 2 Corinthians 7:12; 2 Corinthians 12:13).
