2 Corinthians

DAY 3 OF 19

Paul is likely referring here to the man from 1 Corinthians 5. For him, exclusion from the church is not the ultimate goal, but only a means of restoring the relationship. Now he encourages the church to treat this man with love again. Verse 11 is interesting: Paul warns against being "outwitted by Satan." Not only is the affected person in danger, but the entire church. "If one member suffers, all suffer together" (1 Corinthians 12:26). Unforgiveness always affects the entire community.

For Reflection

If I do not forgive a fellow believer, it affects my relationship with God. In Mark 11:25, Jesus teaches that when we stand in prayer, we should forgive others—so that our Father in heaven will also forgive us.

About this Plan

2 Corinthians

“It’s complicated”—that is probably an apt way to describe the relationship between Paul and the church in Corinth. His first letter was met with resistance: some rejected his criticism and even questioned his authority. Paul traveled to Corinth in person—a painful visit. After he returned, he wrote a severe letter in tears. The church responded: many repented. Paul heard about this from Titus and wrote again—our Second Letter to the Corinthians. It is a testimony to genuine reconciliation, to love that has been hurt, and to the divine power that can heal even broken relationships, even today.
