5If then one has grieved, he has not grieved me but only in part, so that I may not burden all of you.6Sufficient for such a one is this punishment inflicted by the majority.7So on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and to comfort him, lest somehow such a one be swallowed up by more excessive grief.8Therefore I urge you to affirm your love toward him.9For to this end I also wrote, that I might know your test, whether you are obedient in all things.10Now whomever you forgive, I also forgive; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, it was for your sake in the presence of Christ.11In order that we may not be exploited by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his thoughts.
