Bible commentary

Wesley's Notes for 2 Corinthians 2:6


2:6 Sufficient for such an one - With what a remarkable tenderness does St. Paul treat this offender! He never once mentions his name. Nor does he here so much as mention his crime. By many - Not only by the rulers of the church: the whole congregation acquiesced in the sentence.


People's Bible Notes for 2 Corinthians 2:6


2Co 2:6 Sufficient to such a man [is] this punishment. The excommunication of the offender (1Co 5:4,5). Which was [inflicted] of the many. Literally, by the majority. This shows that the whole church took action, and implies that there were dissenters. The command of Paul was endorsed by the action of the church. So ought the decision of the officers of a congregation always be submitted for approval.
