(2Co 10:3) “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:…(6) And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” Continuing yesterday’s thought: since the church is the work of God and not man, there is spiritual authority given to the godly pastor; thus, the warning given here by the Holy Spirit through Paul. If repentance did not take place, the Lord would use he whom they despised (v.10) to discipline.
