<p>2:6 <em>Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority</em>- There is no hint here that there was repentance by the immoral person. &quot;Sufficient&quot; can carry the sense of 'It has gone on for long enough now'. The disfellowship was intended to be temporary, Paul is saying. But that is not at all how he reasons in 1 Cor. 5 when commanding them to exclude the brother. It would seem that he is getting out of the situation by saying 'OK well he has been excluded long enough, have him back then'. He is so desperate to resolve the matter so that he and they are all at one on the matter.</p>
