2 Corinthians 2:5-8

Forgive the Sinner

5Now aif anyone has caused pain, bhe has caused it not to me, but cin some measurenot to put it too severely—to all of you. 6For such a one, dthis punishment by the majority is enough, 7so eyou should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.
