2 Corinthians 2:4-7

Murdock(i) 4 And in much affliction, and in anguish of heart, I wrote those things to you, with many tears; not that ye might have sorrow, but that ye might know the exceeding love I have for you. 5 And if one hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me only, but,-that the declaration may not bear too hard on you-in a measure, all of you. 6 And sufficient for him, is this rebuke proceeding from many: 7 so that, on the other hand, ye ought to forgive him and console him; lest he who is such a man, should be swallowed up with excessive grief.
