2 Corinthians 2:8

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.
