Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Our mouth is open unto you (to stoma hmwn anewgen prov umav). Second perfect active indicative of anoigw and intransitive, stand open. He has kept back nothing in his portrayal of the glory of the ministry as the picture of the open mouth shows.
Our heart is enlarged (h kardia hmwn peplatuntai). Perfect passive indicative of old verb platunw, to broaden, from platuv, broad. In N T. only here and Matthew 23:5 (cf. phylacteries). Hence his freedom of speech for "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34).
