[2:5] Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you.
[2:6] For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough,
[2:7] so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
[2:8] So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.
[2:9] For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.
[2:10] Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive. Indeed, what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ,
[2:11] so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for we are not ignorant of his designs.
