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. 6 For such a one, this ^kpunishment by the majority is enough, 7 so ^lyou should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8 So ^mI beg you to reaffirm your love for him. 9 For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are ⁿobedient 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 we are not ignorant of his designs.
