Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. |
Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open. |
Now in a like exchange – I speak as to children – open wide to us also. |
As a fair exchange – I speak as to my children – open wide your hearts also. |
By way of return then, do this for me – I speak as to children – open wide your hearts also [to us]. |
Now, as a return in kind for my affections toward you, as to children I am speaking to you, you also be enlarged [make a large place in your heart for me]. |
Do reward me (I talk to you as though you were my own children) with the same complete candour! |
To pay me back, I tell you, my children, you too must stretch your hearts with love for me. |
Now 1161 for a recompence 489 in the 3588 same, (I 846 speak 3004 as 5613 unto my children,) 5043 be ye 5210 also 2532 enlarged. 4115 |
