2 ⁵ 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. 2 ⁶ For such a one this punishment by the majority is enough; 2 ⁷ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 2 ⁸ So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him. 2 ⁹ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. 2 ¹⁰ 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, 2 ¹¹ to keep Satan from gaining the advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
