2 Corinthians 2:1-7

1 For I made up my mind ^lnot to make another painful visit to you. 2 For ^mif I cause you pain, who is there to make me glad but the one whom I have pained? 3 And I wrote as I did, so that when I came I might not suffer pain from those who should have made me rejoice, ⁿfor I felt sure of all of you, that my joy would be the joy of you all. 4 For ^oI wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to cause you pain but to let you know the abundant love that I have for you.

Forgive the Sinner

5 Now ^pif anyone has caused pain, ^qhe has caused it not to me, but ^rin some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you. 6 For such a one, ^sthis punishment by the majority is enough, 7 so ^tyou should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

Ephesians 4:30

30 And ^udo not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, ^vby whom you were sealed for the day of ^wredemption.
