ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 6 v11

A PURE CONSCIENCE. AMBROSIASTER: Paul is saying this because of the freedom he enjoyed in a pure conscience. A mind with a bad conscience is afraid to speak, loses its train of thought and makes verbal slips. People whose heart is enlarged are happy with themselves because they are confident that they have behaved well. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

SPEAKING FREELY. CHRYSOSTOM: Paul means by this that he talks to the Corinthians freely, as he would to people whom he loves. He holds nothing back and suppresses nothing. Nothing is wider than Paul’s heart, which loved all the believers with all the passion which one might have toward the object of one’s affection.
