2 Corinthians 2.6-8

4. For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly unto you. 5. But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.

6. Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many; 7. so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow. 8. Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love toward him.

9. For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things. 10. But to whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also: for what I also have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, for your sakes have I forgiven it in the presence of Christ; (2 Corinthians 2:4-10, ASV)

4. For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you with many tears, not that you should be made sorry, but that you might know the love that I have so abundantly for you. 5. 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. This punishment which was inflicted by the many is sufficient for such a one; 7. 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. Therefore I beg you to confirm your love toward him.

9. For to this end I also wrote, that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in all things. 10. Now I also forgive whomever you forgive anything. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ, (2 Corinthians 2:4-10, WEB)

4. For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you. 5. But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.

6. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. ^{punishment: or, censure} 7. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. 8. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.

9. For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. 10. To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; ^{person: or, sight in the person: or, in the sight} (2 Corinthians 2:4-10, KJV)

4. for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you. 5. And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;

6. sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the more part, 7. so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up; 8. wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,

9. for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient. 10. And to whom ye forgive anything, I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you, in the person of Christ, [I forgive it,] (2 Corinthians 2:4-10, YLT)
