Paul writes to the Corinthians to reaffirm their love for a man who had caused sorrow but has since repented. He urges them to forgive the man and show obedience, as forgiveness and restoration of unity in Christ is more important than discipline. Paul wants to reassure the Corinthians of his love and joy in them when they stand firm in faith together.
