2 Corinthians 2:4-7 For out of great affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote you with many tears; not to make you feel distressed, but that you may know the abundant love I have for you.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ For out of great affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote you with many tears; not to make you feel distressed, but that you may know the abundant love I have for you. ⁵ But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me only, but to a certain degree all of you, therefore the news will not be a shock to you. ⁶ The rebuke of many persons is sufficient for such a man. ⁷ So that from henceforth you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one will be overcome with overmuch grief.
