2 Corinthians 2:10-12

Living Bible

¹⁰ When you forgive anyone, I do too. And whatever I have forgiven (to the extent that this affected me too) has been by Christ’s authority, and for your good. ¹¹ A further reason for forgiveness is to keep from being outsmarted by Satan, for we know what he is trying to do.

¹² Well, when I got as far as the city of Troas, the Lord gave me tremendous opportunities to preach the Gospel.
