* But if anyone has caused grief , he has not grieved me , but all of you to some extent--not to be too severe . * This punishment which was inflicted by the majority is sufficient for such a man , * so that , on the contrary , you ought rather to forgive and comfort him , lest perhaps such a one be swallowed up with too much sorrow . * Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him . * For to this end I also wrote , that I might put you to the test , whether you are obedient in all things . * Now whom you forgive anything , I also forgive . For if indeed I have forgiven anything , I have forgiven that one for your sakes in the presence of Christ , * lest Satan should take advantage of us ; for we are not ignorant of his devices .
