Haweis(i)
2 For if I make you sorry, who is he that maketh me glad, but he that is made sorrowful by me?
3 And I have written unto you for this very purpose, that I might not, when I come to you, have sorrow from those in whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
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 towards you.
5 Now if any person hath given cause for grief, he hath not grieved me [merely], but partly all of you; that I may add no farther burden.
6 Sufficient for such person is that chastisement which hath been inflicted by the majority of you.
7 Wherefore, on the contrary, ye rather ought to forgive and comfort him, lest such a one be swallowed up with excess of sorrow.
8 Wherefore I exhort you to confirm your love towards him.
9 For to this end also have I written, that I may know by this proof of you if ye are obedient in all things.
10 But to whomsoever ye forgive any thing, so do I; and if I forgive any thing, to whom I forgive, for your sakes I do it, in the person of Jesus Christ,
11 that no advantage be gained over us by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
