4for out of much tribulation and pressure of heart I wrote to you through many tears, not that ye might be made sorry, but that ye might know the love that I have more abundantly toward you.
5And if any one hath caused sorrow, he hath not caused sorrow to me, but in part, that I may not burden you all;
6sufficient to such a one is this punishment, that [is] by the more part,
7so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;
8wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,
9for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.
10And to whom ye forgive anything -- I also; for I also, if I have forgiven anything, to whom I have forgiven [it], because of you -- in the person of Christ -- [I forgive it,]
