2 Corinthians 2:5-11

Third Millennium Bible w/ Apocrypha TMBA

5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part" that I may not overburden you all.

6 Sufficient to such a man is this censure, which was inflicted by many,

7 so that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

8 Therefore I beseech you that you would confirm your love toward him.

9 For to this end also did I write, that I might have proof from you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

10 To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also; for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it, I forgave it for your sakes in the person of Christ,

11 lest Satan should get an advantage over us. For we are not ignorant of his devices.

New International Version NIV

5 If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you to some extent—not to put it too severely.

6 The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient.

7 Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

8 I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him.

9 Another reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.

10 Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake,

11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
