2 Corinthians 2:5-11 But if any one hath caused grief, he hath caused it not to me alone, but in a measure, not to be too severe on him, to all of you.

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ But if any one hath caused grief, he hath caused it not to me alone, but in a measure, not to be too severe on him, to all of you. ⁶ Sufficient for such a one is this punishment, which was inflicted by the many; ⁷ so that on the contrary ye ought rather to forgive, and console him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. ⁸ Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love toward him. ⁹ For to this end also I wrote, that I might know by putting it to the proof, whether ye are obedient in all things. ¹⁰ But to whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also; for what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ, ¹¹ that Satan might not gain an advantage over us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
