2 Corinthians 2:4

2 For if I make you ^asorrowful, then who is he who makes me glad but the one who is made sorrowful by me?

Forgive the Offender

3 And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, ^aI should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, ^bhaving confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

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.
