2 Corinthians 2:1-11 — Forgiveness for the Offender
2Cor.2.1-11
1For I decided this for myself, not to come to you again in sorrow. 2For if I cause you sorrow, then who is the one who cheers me but the one who is caused sorrow by me? 3And I wrote this very thing, so that when I came I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice, since I am confident in you all that my joy is the joy of you all. 4For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not so that you would be caused sorrow, but so that you would know the love that I have so abundantly for you. 5But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in part—so that I do not place too heavy a burden—to all of you. 6This punishment by the majority is sufficient for such a person, 7so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, lest such a person be swallowed up by excessive sorrow. 8Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him. 9For to this end I also wrote, so that I might know the proof of you, whether you are obedient in everything. 10Now to whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it for your sakes in the presence of Christ, 11so that we would not be taken advantage of by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
