Hi there to all. Follow Up and Confrontation 2Corinthians 2- 6- 8 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. It has been said that 2 Corinthians was written with a pen dipped in tears. In chapter 2, Paul has to follow up on the confrontation he first brought up 1 Corinthians 5 The church had responded well to his advice and now Paul encourages them to reaffirm their love their erring brother {2 Corinthians 2; 6- 8}. Paul knew that follow up has to take place after confrontation. The organization and leadership must live up to their values. When the confrontation is done well, the follow up can be especially warm and personal. Compare the differences between Paul’s two letters to the Corinthians; 1 Corinthians 1. Very objective content and character. 2. Practical I its approach. 3. Deliberate church instruction. 4. Gives insight in to the church ministry. 2 Corinthians 1. Very subjective character. 2. Personal in its approach. 3. Personal life and experience. 4. Gives insight into Paul’s life. Be blessed to be a blessing
