Showing “tough love” should not be administered with fury. Paul sums it up pretty well in this sentence: “I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways.” This should be the goal, but there must be love attached to the administration. Certainly not all of us have the discretion of an apostle, so we should always be very careful when we’re calling someone else to account… otherwise, we might be the ones who need correcting next.
