Bible Question: Do we have any idea to whom Paul is referring in this verse? Or is there any idea what punishment was given to this person that Paul thought was enough? |
Bible Answer: Biffbt, NAB footnote on 2 Cor 2:5-11 "The nature of the pain (2 Cor 2:5) is unclear, though some believe an individual at Corinth rejected Paul's authority, thereby scandalizing many in the community. In any case, action has been taken, and Paul judges the measuresa adequate to right the situation (2 Cor 2:6). The follow-up directives he now gives are entirely positive: forgive, encourage, love. Overwhelmed (2 Cor 2:7): a vivid metaphor (literally "swallowed") that Paul employs positively at 2 Cor 5:4 and in 1 Cor 15:54 (2 Cor 2:7). It is often used to describe satanic activity (cf 1 Peter 5:8); note the reference to Satan here in 2 Cor 2:11." http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/2corinthians/2corinthians2.htm Emmaus |
