2 Corinthians 2:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ At the time I wrote, I was suffering terribly. My eyes were full of tears, and my heart was broken. But I didn't want to make you feel bad. I only wanted to let you know how much I cared for you.

Forgiveness

⁵ I don't want to be hard on you. But if one of you has made someone feel bad, I am not really the one who has been made to feel bad. Some of you are the ones. ⁶ Most of you have already pointed out the wrong that person did, and this is punishment enough for what was done.
