“So that contrarywise, yee ought rather to forgiue him, and comfort him, lest perhaps, such a one should be swallowed vp with ouermuch sorrow.”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
2Co 2:7 Ye [ought] rather to forgive [him]. The Apostle sternly commands excommunication of the offender, but tenderly enjoins forgiveness of the penitent sinner.
