I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

In vindicating myself, I do not accuse you, as though you suspected me of such things (Menochius) - as though you were guilty of such things; for I speak only of the false apostles (Estius). Rather, 'as though you were ungrateful' (Beza).

I have said before - in 2 Corinthians 6:11.

Die and live with you - the height of friendship. I am ready to die and live with and for you (; ; ; Philippians 2:17: cf. as to Christ, ).
