2 Corinthians 2:9-11 For this also was my purpose in writing you, that I might test your willingness to obey everything I required of you.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ For this also was my purpose in writing you, that I might test your willingness to obey everything [I required of you]. ¹⁰ Now whomever you forgive [for doing] anything [wrong], I will forgive also. For indeed, whatever I have forgiven, if I have [actually] forgiven anything, has been for your sakes in the sight of Christ. [Note: Paul seems to be saying “Since my forgiveness depends on your forgiveness of the man, I am not sure of my forgiveness because I am not sure of yours”]. ¹¹ [I do this] so that Satan cannot take advantage of us, for we are not unaware of his schemes.
