Forgive and Love the Sinner

5But aif any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree—1in order not to say too much—to all of you.

6Sufficient for such a one is athis punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

7so that on the contrary you should rather agraciously forgive and comfort him, lest such a one be swallowed up by excessive sorrow.

8Therefore I encourage you to reaffirm your love for him.

9For to this end also aI wrote, so that I might bknow your proven character, whether you are cobedient in all things.

10But one whom you graciously forgive anything, I graciously forgive also. For indeed what I have graciously forgiven, if I have graciously forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes ain the presence of Christ,

11so that no advantage would be taken of us by aSatan, for bwe are not ignorant of his schemes.

12Now when I came to aTroas for the bgospel of Christ and when a cdoor was opened for me in the Lord,

13I ahad no rest for my spirit, not finding bTitus my brother. But csaying farewell to them, I went on to dMacedonia.
