2 Corinthians 2:5-11

Lamsa(i) 5 But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me only, but to a certain degree all of you, therefore the news will not be a shock to you. 6 The rebuke of many persons is sufficient for such a man. 7 So that from henceforth you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one will be overcome with overmuch grief. 8 I beseech you therefore that you confirm your love toward him. 9 For that is why I wrote you, that I might know by your word whether you are obedient in all things. 10 To whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for anything which I have forgiven, to whomever I forgave it, it is for your sakes I forgave it in the presence of Christ: 11 Lest Satan might take advantage of us: for we know his devices.
