2 Corinthians 2:4-11
4For out of muchG4183 afflictionG2347 and anguishG4928 of heartG2588 I 1wroteG1125 to you with manyG4183 tearsG1144; not soG2443 thatG2443 you would be madeG3076 sorrowfulG3076, but that you might knowG1097 the loveG26 whichG3739 I haveG2192 especiallyG4056 for you.
5But 2ifG1487 anyoneG5100 has causedG3076 sorrowG3076, he has causedG3076 sorrowG3076 not for me, but in someG3313 degreeG3313--3not to sayG1912 tooG1912 muchG1912--for allG3956 of you. 6SufficientG2425 for suchG5108 aG5108 personG5108 is 4thisG3778 punishmentG2009 which was imposed by the majorityG4183, 7soG5620 thatG5620 onG5121 theG5121 otherG5121 handG5121, you should ratherG3123 5forgiveG5483 and comfortG3870 him, otherwiseG3381 suchG5108 a personG5108 might be overwhelmedG2666 by excessiveG4053 sorrowG3077. 8ThereforeG1352 I urgeG3870 you to reaffirmG2964 your loveG26 for him. 9For to thisG3778 end 6I alsoG2532 wroteG1125, soG2443 thatG2443 I might 78putG1097 you to the testG1382, whetherG1487 you are 9obedientG5255 in allG3956 thingsG3956. 10But oneG5100 whomG3739 you forgiveG5483 anythingG5100, I alsoG2532 forgive; for indeedG2532 whatG3739 I have forgivenG5483, ifG1487 I have forgivenG5483 anythingG5100, I did so for your sakesG1223 10in the presenceG4383 of ChristG5547, 11soG2443 thatG2443 noG3361 advantageG4122 would be takenG4122 of us by 11SatanG4567, for 12we are not ignorantG50 of his schemesG3540.
