2 Corinthians 2:7-11

so that on the other hand, you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a person might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.

For to this end I also wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.

But one whom you forgive anything, I also forgive; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did so for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
