4 For out of much1 affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you, with many tears, anot that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you.
5 But aif anyone has caused grief, he has not bgrieved me, but all of you to some extent—not to be too severe.
6 This punishment which was inflicted aby the majority is sufficient for such a man,
7 aso that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow.
8 Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him.
9 For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are aobedient in all things.
10 Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For1 if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,
11 lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.
Triumph in Christ
12 Furthermore, awhen I came to Troas to preach Christ’s gospel, and ba door was opened to me by the Lord,
13 aI had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia.
