2 Corinthians 2:5-17

If anyone has caused pain, he has caused pain not so much to me but to some degree #— #not to exaggerate   #— #to all of you. This punishment by the majority is sufficient for that person. As a result, you should instead forgive  and comfort him. Otherwise, he may be overwhelmed by excessive grief. Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him. I wrote for this purpose: to test your character  to see if you are obedient  in everything. Anyone you forgive, I do too. For what I have forgiven #— #if I have forgiven anything #— #it is for your benefit in the presence of Christ, so that we may not be taken advantage  of by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his schemes. When I came to Troas  to preach the gospel of Christ, even though the Lord opened a door  for me, I had no rest  in my spirit because I did not find my brother Titus.  Instead, I said good-bye to them and left for Macedonia.  But thanks be to God,  who always leads us in Christ’s triumphal procession and through us spreads the aroma of the knowledge of him in every place.  For to God we are the fragrance  of Christ among those who are being saved  and among those who are perishing.  To some we are an aroma of death  leading to death, but to others, an aroma of life  leading to life. Who is adequate for these things? For we do not market the word of God  for profit like so many.  On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God.
