2 Corinthians 2:5-13
English Standard Version
Forgive the Sinner
5 Now (A)if anyone has caused pain, (B)he has caused it not to me, but (C)in some measure—not to put it too severely—to all of you. 6 For such a one, (D)this punishment by the majority is enough, 7 so (E)you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8 So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him. 9 For this is why I wrote, that I might (F)test you and know (G)whether you are obedient in everything. 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, 11 so that we would not be outwitted by Satan; for (H)we are not ignorant of his designs.
Triumph in Christ
12 When (I)I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though (J)a door was opened for me in the Lord, 13 my spirit (K)was not at rest because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I took leave of them and went on to Macedonia.
