“I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.”
I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you — Paul clarifies: his statements are not condemnatory but affectionate. The Corinthians are inscribed on his heart (sy chōreisthe en tais kardiais hēmōn); he is willing to die with them. Extreme devotion.
