2 Corinthians 2:5-11 - Forgive And Comfort The Offender

⁵ But if any one has grieved, he has grieved, not me, but in part (that I may not overcharge you) all of you. ⁶ Sufficient to such a one is this rebuke which has been inflicted by the many; ⁷ so that on the contrary ye should rather shew grace and encourage, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with excessive grief. ⁸ Wherefore I exhort you to assure him of your love. ⁹ For to this end also I have written, that I might know, by putting you to the test, if as to everything ye are obedient. ¹⁰ But to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I also, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sakes in the person of Christ; ¹¹ that we might not have Satan get an advantage against us, for we are not ignorant of his thoughts.
