2 Corintios 2:7

7 para que, al contrario, vosotros más bien lo perdonéis y consoléis, porque por ventura no sea el tal consumido con demasiada tristeza.

2 Corintios 2:7 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 2:7

So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him
On the other hand, so far the apostle suggests they should be from inflicting any other punishment on him, or by any means adding to, and increasing what was inflicted, that they ought to forgive him his offence, by taking off the censure from him, which had been sufficient for the purpose, and had continued on him a sufficient time:

and comfort him;
by restoring him to the communion of the church, and to an enjoyment of all the privileges and ordinances of the house of God: and this was necessary to be done,

lest perhaps such an one should be swallowed up with over much
sorrow:
be overwhelmed with trouble, engulfed in despair, and so become unfit for the exercise of grace, and discharge of duty; to prevent therefore such dangerous and pernicious consequences, it is incumbent on the churches of Christ, as soon as ever they observe that censures have answered the end in bringing persons to a sense and acknowledgment of sin and amendment of life, to remove them, and restore such to fellowship.

2 Corintios 2:7 In-Context

5 Que si alguno me contristó, no me contristó a mí, sino en parte, para no cargaros, a todos vosotros.

6 Bástale al tal esta reprensión hecha por muchos;

7 para que, al contrario, vosotros más bien lo perdonéis y consoléis, porque por ventura no sea el tal consumido con demasiada tristeza.

8 Por lo cual os ruego que confirméis la caridad para con él.

9 Porque también para este fin os escribí, para tener experiencia de vosotros si sois obedientes en todo.
