2 Coríntios 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 2:8

Wherefore I beseech you
Or exhort you:

that ye would confirm your love towards him:
express your love to him in the most kind and tender manner, show the same, and as strong love to him as you did before, and as if he had never offended; receive him as a brother in the most affectionate manner, and embrace him with the most endearing expressions of respect and friendship; and let your reception of him in this kind and friendly way be with the full consent, and by the joint vote and suffrage of the whole church, for so the word translated "confirm" signifies; for as the ejection of a person out of a church must be done by the decree and vote of the church, or it is not authentic, so the reception of a person into it must be in like manner; and since this was to be done by the suffrage of the church, the apostle beseeches and exhorts them to do it.

8 Portanto, eu recomendo que reafirmem o amor que têm por ele.

9 Eu escrevi com o propósito de saber se vocês seriam aprovados, isto é, se seriam obedientes em tudo.

10 Se vocês perdoam a alguém, eu também perdoo; e aquilo que perdoei, se é que havia alguma coisa para perdoar, perdoei na presença de Cristo, por amor a vocês,
