You are not constrained in us, but you are constrained in your own affections.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 6:12 Go To 2 Corinthians 6
John Chrysostom
AD 407
The heart of one who loves is wide open. He walks with great freedom. It is when love is lacking that restrictions appear. Paul did not want to accuse them openly of lack of love. He merely points to the behavioral result and encourages them to perceive the cause for themselves.
