Church Fathers on 2 Corinthians 2:6

“Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many.” And he says not “to him that has committed fornication,” but here again “to such a one,” as also in the former Epistle. Not however for the same reason; but there out of shame, here out of mercy. Wherefore he no where subsequently so much as mentions the crime; for it was time now to excuse.
