2 Corinthians 2:9-11

9 For this reason also I wrote you:[a] to test you to see[b] if you are obedient in everything. 10 If you forgive anyone for anything, I also forgive him—for indeed what I have forgiven (if I have forgiven anything) I did so for you in the presence of Christ, 11 so that we may not be exploited[c] by Satan (for we are not ignorant of his schemes).

9 Another reason I wrote you(A) was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.(B) 10 Anyone you forgive, I also forgive.
