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

⁵ If any man hath caused sorrow, the same hath not made me sorry: but partly - lest I should grieve - you all. ⁶ It is sufficient unto the same man that he was rebuked of many. ⁷ So that now contrariwise ye ought to forgive him and comfort him: lest that same person should be swallowed up with overmuch heaviness. ⁸ Wherefore I exhort you, that love may have strength over him. ⁹ For this cause verily did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye should be obedient in all things. ¹⁰ To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also. And verily if I forgive anything, to whom I forgave it for your sakes forgave I it, in the room of Christ, ¹¹ lest Satan should prevent us. For his thoughts are not unknown unto us.
