SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:6
Bástale al tal esta reprensión hecha por muchos;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 2:6
Verse 6. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment] That is, the man has already suffered sufficiently. Here he gives a proof of his parental tenderness towards this great transgressor. He had been disowned by the Church; he had deeply repented; and now the apostle pleads for him.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 5-11 - The apostle desires them to receive the person who had done wrong again into their communion; for he was aware of his fault, and muc afflicted under his punishment. Even sorrow for sin should not unfi for other duties, and drive to despair. Not only was there danger las Satan should get advantage, by tempting the penitent to hard thought of God and religion, and so drive him to despair; but against the churches and the ministers of Christ, by bringing an evil report upo Christians as unforgiving; thus making divisions, and hindering the success of the ministry. In this, as in other things, wisdom is to be used, that the ministry may not be blamed for indulging sin on the on hand, or for too great severity towards sinners on the other hand Satan has many plans to deceive, and knows how to make a bad use of ou mistakes.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
6. Many (twn pleionwn). Rev., correctly, the many: the majority of the Church.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
2:6 {Punishment} (epitimia). Late word for old Greek to epitimion (so papyri), from epitimaw, to show honor to, to award, to adjudge penalty. Only here in N.T. {By the many} (hupo twn pleionwn). By the more, the majority. If Paul refers to the case in #1Co 5, they had taken his advice and expelled the offender.
