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

⁵ And if any have grieved, he has not grieved me, but by part; that I might not overload you all. ⁶ Sufficient to such a one this enjoyment of the esteem of the many. ⁷ So that on the contrary ye should rather show kindness, and console, lest perhaps such be swallowed down with more abundant sadness. ⁸ Wherefore I beseech you to confirm love to him. ⁹ For, for this I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, if ye are obedient for all things. ¹⁰ And to whom ye show any favor; I also: for also if I have shown any kindness, to whom I have shown kindness, through you in the face of Christ; ¹¹ That we might not be taken advantage of by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his inventions.
