Paul Urges Forgiveness

But I determined this within myself, that I would not come again to you in sorrow.

Forgive the Offender

And I wrote this very thing to you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow over those from whom I ought to have joy, having confidence in you all that my joy is the joy of you all.

so that, on the contrary, you ought rather to forgive and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow.

Now whom you forgive anything, I also forgive. For if indeed I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ,

For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!
