2 Corinthians 2:5-11 Now, if anyone hath caused grief, not unto me hath he caused grief, but––that I may not bear too heavily–

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ Now, if anyone hath caused grief, not unto me hath he caused grief, but––that I may not bear too heavily––unto you all. ⁶ Sufficient, unto such a one, the punishment itself which [was inflicted] by the many; ⁷ So that, on the contrary, ye should forgive and encourage, lest, by any means, by his excessive grief, such a one should be swallowed up. ⁸ Wherefore, I beseech you, assure him, of love; ⁹ For, to this end, I also wrote,––that I might know the proof of you, whether, in all things, ye are obedient. ¹⁰ Now, to whom ye forgive anything, I, also; for, I also, what I have forgiven, if, anything, I have forgiven, for your sake, in the person of Christ, [have I forgiven it]. ¹¹ Lest we should be overreached by Satan, for, of his thoughts, we are not ignorant.
