2 Corinthians 2:7 Context
5But if any haue caused griefe, hee hath not grieued mee, but in part: that I may not ouercharge you all. 6Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many. 7So that contrarywise, yee ought rather to forgiue him, and comfort him, lest perhaps, such a one should be swallowed vp with ouermuch sorrow. 8Wherefore I beseech you, that you would confirme your loue towards him. 9For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proofe of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
