Passage |
|
| But if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure - not to put it too severely - to you all. | Forgiveness for the Offender 2Cor.2.5-11 |
| For such a one this punishment by the majority is enough; | |
| so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. | |
| So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him. | |
| For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. | |
| Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. What I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, | |
| to keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs. | |
