2 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 6

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 6:13
  
  you too open your hearts wide: Or “you too widen out.” The Greek verb used here literally means “to make broad; to enlarge.” (Mt 23:5) Paul is using the word figuratively with regard to showing warm affection. One reference work comments that the expression describes showing “generous, expansive love.”
