This essay makes a case for identifying the "offender" in 2 Corinthians 2:5 and 2 Corinthians 7:12 with the sinner of 1 Corinthians 5. The contacts between Paul and the Corinthians in the period between the writing of 1 and 2 Corinthians is also set out. Kruse considers the possibility that the offence was most likely committed during this period.
