SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:11
¿Por qué? ¿Porque no os amo? Dios lo sabe.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 11:11
Verse 11. Wherefore] Why have I acted thus? and why do I propose to continue to act thus? is it because I love you not, and will not permit you to contribute to my support? God knoweth the contrary; I do most affectionately love you.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. Wherefore? because I love you not ? etc..] Why did the apostle do this? why did he take nothing, and resolve to take nothing of the Corinthians, for preaching the Gospel to them? why did he determine, that no man should prevent his glorying of this, in all the country of Achaia? was it because he did not love the Corinthians? some might insinuate this was the reason of it, that he had no true affection for them, and therefore would take none of their gifts, but despised both them and theirs, and loved the Macedonian and other churches better than they. To which he answers by saying, God knoweth ; which is another form of an oath, and is a solemn appeal to God, the searcher of hearts, who knows all things, that he knew he heartily loved them; that it was not want of love to them, which was the reason of his entering into such a resolution, never to take anything of them; but it was something else, quite another thing, which induced him to it, and is mentioned in the following verse.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-15 - It is far better to be plain in speech, yet walking openly an consistently with the gospel, than to be admired by thousands, and be lifted up in pride, so as to disgrace the gospel by evil tempers an unholy lives. The apostle would not give room for any to accuse him of worldly designs in preaching the gospel, that others who opposed him a Corinth, might not in this respect gain advantage against him Hypocrisy may be looked for, especially when we consider the grea power which Satan, who rules in the hearts of the children of disobedience, has upon the minds of many. And as there are temptation to evil conduct, so there is equal danger on the other side. It serve Satan's purposes as well, to set up good works against the atonement of Christ, and salvation by faith and grace. But the end will discove those who are deceitful workers; their work will end in ruin. Sata will allow his ministers to preach either the law or the gospe separately; but the law as established by faith in Christ' righteousness and atonement, and the partaking of his Spirit, is the test of every false system.
