2 Corinthians 2:6-11

English Standard Version

⁶ For such a one, ^(A)this punishment by the majority is enough, ⁷ so ^(B)you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. ⁸ So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him. ⁹ For this is why I wrote, that I might ^(C)test you and know ^(D)whether you are obedient in everything. ¹⁰ Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, ¹¹ so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for ^(E)we are not ignorant of his designs.
