2 Corinthians 2

10 If you forgive anyone, I do too; further, if indeed I have forgiven anything to someone, I have done so for your sakes in the presence of Christ,*An interesting concept: Paul does the forgiving ‘in the presence of Christ’. He clearly believes that his forgiving, or otherwise, makes a difference. Well, he had ordered the disciplinary action, so it was appropriate for him to address the consequences. 11 so that we not be exploited by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his intentions.*Well, at least we shouldn’t be, but how many Christians today really take the enemy seriously? Paul will refer to Satan by name several times.
