Receive us—with enlarged hearts (II Corinthians 6:13).
we have wronged . . . corrupter . . . defrauded no man—(compare II Corinthians 7:9). This is the ground on which he asks their reception of (making room for) him in their hearts. We wronged none by an undue exercise of apostolic authority; II Corinthians 7:13 gives an instance in point. We have corrupted none, namely, by beguilements and flatteries, while preaching "another Gospel," as the false teachers did (II Corinthians 11:3-4). We have defrauded none by "making a gain" of you (II Corinthians 12:17). Modestly he leaves them to supply the positive good which he had done; suffering all things himself that they might be benefited (II Corinthians 7:9, II Corinthians 7:12; II Corinthians 12:13).
