☀️ 1 - I (Paul) didn’t want to make another painful visit. 2 For if I cause you (Corinthian believers/followers) pain, who then is there to make me happy but the one I pained? 3 And I wrote to you as I did, so when I’m there, I won’t have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy! And so all of you will have the same joy that I have. 4 For when I wrote to you, it was out of much affliction and anguish of heart, and even with tears. Not to cause you pain, but to let you know of the abundant love I have for you. {Corinth was a large “pagan” city with strong pagan habits.. like temple prostitutes or such. Persons as commodity?}
5 Now if anyone has caused pain, they’ve caused it - not to me, except in some measure, and not to put it too severely - but to all of you! 6 Now for that one, the disapproval and censure by the majority is enough. {Had done its job, he had been sleeping with his father’s wife.} 7 So now you should forgive and comfort, or he may be harmed. 8 So I beg you to reaffirm your love and acceptance. 9 For this is why I wrote, to find out if you are able to stay {in the message} and walk in the way.
