2 Corinthians 2

Paul corrects and rebukes because he loves. Many Christians think love means never telling the truth or always pretending tings are okay. That is the opposite of love. Forgiveness is also a sign of true Christian community. Forgive those who wrong you. Forgive means to cancel the debt someone owes us (our reputation, maybe a financial loss) and not to act like it never happened. What seems like a dead end (forgiving or loving in conflict) is actually the path to real life!
