2 Corinthians 2:5-11

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

5 If anyone has caused pain, he has not caused pain to me, but in some degree-not to exaggerate-to all of you.

6 The punishment by the majority is sufficient for such a person,

7 so now you should forgive and comfort him instead; otherwise, this one may be overwhelmed by excessive grief.

8 Therefore I urge you to confirm your love to him.

9 It was for this purpose I wrote: so I may know your proven character, if you are obedient in everything.

10 Now to whom you forgive anything, I do too. For what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it is for you in the presence of Christ,

11 so that we may not be taken advantage of by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his intentions.

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.
