2 Corinthians 2:4-6
International Standard Version
4 I wrote to you out of great sorrow and anguish of heart—along with many tears—not to make you sad but to let you know how much love I have for you.
Forgive the Person who Sinned
5 But if anyone has caused grief, he didn’t cause me any grief. To some extent—I don’t want to emphasize this too much—it has affected[a] all of you. 6 This punishment by the majority is severe enough for such a man.
