<p>2:10 <em>But to whom you forgive anything, I also. When I also forgive- if I need to forgive- then I do it for your sakes</em>- Paul wants to move on from their complaint about his insistence that they separate from the immoral brother. With no mention of the man's repentance, he says that if they forgive him, then so does he. And his own forgiveness of the man was &quot;for your sakes&quot;. Paul forgave the brother and moved on for the sake of peace with the Corinthians. This raises the interesting question of whether forgiveness can be granted or not granted for the sake of issues other than the actual behaviour or repentance of the offending individual.</p><p><em>In the presence of Christ, so</em>- Paul was a placarding of Christ crucified before the Galatians (Gal. 3:1 Gk., see note there); and likewise here to the Corinthians he was &ldquo;the face of Christ&rdquo; (2 Cor. 2:10 RSV).</p>
