2 Corinthians 6:13

“Now for a recompence in the same, etc..] That your love to me may answer mine to you; that as you have my heart, I may have yours, and the same room in your heart, as you have in mine. The Vulgate Latin version reads, “having the same recompence”; and the Arabic version renders it, “grant to me the same recompence”; and the Syriac version, “recompense to me my usuries that are with you”; that is, repay me with affection, let love be returned for love. I speak as unto my children; which relation subsisting between us requires mutual affection; for as a father should love his children, so children should love their father: be ye also enlarged; in your love to me, as I am to you; and then, as…”

“Translate, "As a recompense in the same kind . . . be enlarged also yourselves" [ELLICOTT]. "In the same way" as my heart is enlarged towards you (Co2 6:11), and "as a recompense" for it (Gal 4:12). I speak as unto my children--as children would naturally be expected to recompense their parents' love with similar love.”

“Now for a recompence in the same - “By way of recompence, open your hearts in the same manner toward me as I have done toward you. It is all the reward or compensation which I ask of you; all the return which I desire. I do not ask silver or gold, or any earthly possessions. I ask only a return of love, and a devotedness to the cause which I love, and which I endeavor to promote.” I speak as unto my children - I speak as a parent addressing his children. I sustain toward you the relation of a spiritual father, and I have a right to require and expect a return of affection. Be ye also enlarged - Be not straitened in your affections. Love me as I love you. Give to me the same proofs of…”

“Now for a recompence of the same - Of my parental tenderness. I speak as to my children - I ask nothing hard or grievous. Be ye also enlarged - Open your hearts, first to God, and then to us, so Co2 8:5, that God may "dwell in you," Co2 6:16; Co2 7:1; and that ye may "receive us," Co2 7:2. 2 Corinthians 6:14”
