2 Corinthians 2:5-11

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

5 But if someone has made anyone sad, that person hasn't hurt me but all of you to some degree (not to exaggerate).

6 The punishment handed out by the majority is enough for this person.

7 This is why you should try your best to forgive and to comfort this person now instead, so that this person isn't overwhelmed by too much sorrow.

8 So I encourage you to show your love for this person.

9 This is another reason why I wrote you. I wanted to test you and see if you are obedient in everything.

10 If you forgive anyone for anything, I do too. And whatever I've forgiven (if I've forgiven anything), I did it for you in the presence of Christ.

11 This is so that we won't be taken advantage of by Satan, because we are well aware of his schemes.

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.
