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.
