This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Receive (χωρήσατε)
From χῶρος place or space. Primarily, to leave a space, make room for. See on containing, Joh 2:6; see on Joh 8:37. The meaning here is make room for us. Rev., open your hearts to us, which is felicitous in view of the reference to 2Co 6:12. It is equivalent to saying enlarge your hearts to take us in, as our heart is enlarged (2Co 6:11).
Defrauded (ἐπλεονεκτήσαμεν)
Used by Paul only. It adds the idea of wrong for the sake of gain, which is not necessarily implied in either of the other verbs.
