Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 2:10

_ _ Another encouragement to their taking on themselves the responsibility of restoring the offender. They may be assured of Paul’s apostolic sanction to their doing so.

_ _ for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it — The oldest manuscripts read, “For even what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything.”

_ _ for your sakes forgave I it — He uses the past tense, as of a thing already determined on; as in 1 Corinthians 5:3, “I have judged already”; or, as speaking generally of forgiveness granted, or to be granted. It is for your sakes I have forgiven, and do forgive, that the Church (of which you are constituent members) may suffer no hurt by the loss of a soul, and that ye may learn leniency as well as faithfulness.

_ _ in the person of Christ — representing Christ, and acting by His authority: answering to 1 Corinthians 5:4, “In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ... my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 2:5-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 2:10

To whom ye forgive — He makes no question of their complying with his direction. Anything — So mildly does he speak even of that heinous sin, after it was repented of. In the person of Christ — By the authority wherewith he has invested me.
