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

⁵ And if any one hath caused grief, it hath grieved me only as to part of you, (that I may not overcharge you ⁶ all) though sufficient to such a one is the censure passed on him by many. ⁷ So that on the contrary, ye ought rather to forgive and comfort him, least such a one should be swallowed up with excessive sorrow. ⁸ Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love to him. ⁹ For to this end also did I write, that I might have proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things. ¹⁰ And to whom ye forgive any thing, I also forgive it: for if I have forgiven any thing, I forgave it him, to whom I did forgive it, for your sakes, in the person of Christ; that we might not be foiled by Satan: ¹¹ for we are not ignorant of his devices.
