2 Corinthians 2:5-11 But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measurenot to put it too severelyto all of you.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ But if any one has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measurenot to put it too severelyto all of you. ⁶ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority, ⁷ so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. ⁸ I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. ⁹ For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything. ¹⁰ Any one 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, ¹¹ in order that Satan might gain no advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
