2 Corinthians 2:4-6 Encouragement in Affliction

4 For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.

5 Forgiveness for the Sinner
If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you, to some extent—not to put it too severely.

6 The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient for him.
