Theophylact of Ohrid, on 2Cor 2:8

“Wherefore, I beseech you, that you would confirm your charity towards him.”

“He no longer commands as a teacher, but as an advocate asks the judges "to show him love," that is, to receive him with firm love, and not simply and casually. He also shows their virtue, for those very people who previously loved the man so much that they boasted of him, now because of his sin conceived such an aversion to him that Paul himself intercedes on his behalf.”
