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

⁵ If a certain individual has been causing pain, he has been causing pain not so much to me as to all of you ??at anyrate (for I am not going to overstate the case) to a section of you. ⁶ This censure from the majority is severe enough for the individual in question, ⁷ so that instead of censuring you should now forgive him and comfort him, in case the man is overwhelmed by excessive remorse. ⁸ So I beg you to reinstate him in your love. ⁹ For my aim in writing was simply to test you, to see if you were absolutely obedient. ¹⁰ If you forgive the man, I forgive him too; anything I had to forgive him has been forgiven in the presence of Christ for your sakes, ¹¹ in case Satan should take advantage of our position ??for I know his man?uvres!
