2 Corinthians 2

World English Bible (WEB)

5 Ref But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I not press too heavily) to you all.

6 Ref Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;

7 Ref so that on the contrary you should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his excessive sorrow.

8 Ref Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.

9 Ref For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things.
