Bible Note: Greetings Mouse! If the purpose of handing the person over was to harm him, I would agree with you. Yet, as Makarios pointed out, the purpose the 'handing over' was to help him through discipline. If the man repented, the end result would be positive for him. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
