* But if any one has grieved , he has grieved , not me , but in part (that I may not overcharge [you ]) all of you . * Sufficient to such a one [is ] this rebuke which [has been inflicted ] by the many ; * so that on the contrary ye should rather shew grace and encourage , lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with excessive grief . * Wherefore I exhort you to assure him of [your ] love . * For to this end also I have written , that I might know , by putting you to the test , if as to everything ye are obedient . * But to whom ye forgive anything , I also ; for I also , what I have forgiven , if I have forgiven anything , [it is ] for your sakes in [the ] person of Christ ; * that we might not have Satan get an advantage against us , for we are not ignorant of his thoughts .
