10. as grieving yet always rejoicing; as poor yet enriching many; as having nothing yet possessing everything.
11. We have spoken openly to you, O Corinthians; our heart is open wide!
12. You are not restricted by us, yet you are restricted in your own feelings.
13. Now in return—I speak as to my children—open wide to us also.
