2 Corinthians 2:5-11 But if any one has grieved you all, he has not grieved me, but in part, that I may not burden you excessively.

Godbey⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ But if any one has grieved you all, he has not grieved me, but in part, that I may not burden you excessively. ⁶ This punishment which for many to such a one is sufficient; ⁷ so on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one may be swallowed up with excessive grief. ⁸ Therefore I exhort you to stir up your divine love for him: ⁹ for unto this also I wrote, in order that I may know your approval, if you are obedient in all things. ¹⁰ But to whom you forgive anything, I do also: for indeed whatsoever I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for your sakes in the face of Christ; ¹¹ in order that we may not be gobbled up by Satan: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
