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

⁵ But if any have caused me grief, he has not grieved me, but in part, that I may not put a burden on you all. ⁶ Sufficient to such a one is this reprehension, which was inflicted of many. ⁷ So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with too much grief. ⁸ Therefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your charity toward him. ⁹ For to this end also I wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things. ¹⁰ To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also; for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ, ¹¹ lest Satan should deceive us, for we do not ignore his devices.
