2 Corinthians 2:4-7 Now I wrote to you out of great distress and anguish of heart, with many tears, not that you should be made sorrowful, but that you might know the greatness of my love for you.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ Now I wrote to you out of great distress and anguish of heart, with many tears, not that you should be made sorrowful, but that you might know the greatness of my love for you. ⁵ So, if anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has all of you, to some extent—not to be too ‘heavy’. ⁶ This punishment that was inflicted by the majority is sufficient to such a one, ⁷ so that now, on the other side, you should forgive and comfort him, so that he not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
