nkjv 2Corinthians:2:4-11 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote to you ,
with many tears ,
not that you should be grieved ,
but that you might know the love which I have so abundantly for you .
*
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 .
