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

⁵ But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has not caused me sorrow, but {to some degree}--{in order not to say too much}--[to] all [of] you. ⁶ This punishment by the majority [is] sufficient for such a person. ⁷ So then, you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest somehow this person should be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. ⁸ Therefore I urge you to confirm [your] love for him. ⁹ Because for this [reason] also I wrote, in order that I could know your proven character, whether you are obedient in everything. ¹⁰ Now to whomever you forgive anything, I also [do]; for indeed, whatever I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, [it is] {for your sake} in the presence of Christ, ¹¹ in order that we may not be exploited by Satan (for we are not ignorant of his schemes).
