2 Corinthians 6:11–13

Our mouth is open to you, Corinthians. Our heart is enlarged. You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. Now in return—I speak as to my children—you also open your hearts.

Context note · editorial

Paul tells the Corinthians that his affection has room for them and appeals for a corresponding openness. The personal language interrupts a section recounting the costs of his ministry.
