2 Corinthians 2:5-9
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 2
5
But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not for me, but in some degree— not to say too much—for all of you.
6
Sufficient for such a person is this punishment which
was imposed
by the majority,
7
so that on the other hand, you should rather forgive and comfort
him,
otherwise such a person might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
8
Therefore I urge you to reaffirm
your
love for him.
9
For to this end I also wrote, so that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.
King James Version
Chapter 2
5
But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
6
Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
7
So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8
Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
9
For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 2
5
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.
6
This punishment by the majority is sufficient for that person.
7
As a result, you should instead forgive and comfort him. Otherwise, he may be overwhelmed by excessive grief.
8
Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him.
9
I wrote for this purpose: to test your character to see if you are obedient in everything.
New Living Translation
Chapter 2
5
I am not overstating it when I say that the man who caused all the trouble hurt all of you more than he hurt me.
6
Most of you opposed him, and that was punishment enough.
7
Now, however, it is time to forgive and comfort him. Otherwise he may be overcome by discouragement.
8
So I urge you now to reaffirm your love for him.
9
I wrote to you as I did to test you and see if you would fully comply with my instructions.
English Standard Version
Chapter 2
5
Now if anyone has caused pain, he has caused it not to me, but in some measure — not to put it too severely — to all of you.
6
For such a one, this punishment by the majority is enough,
7
so you should rather turn to forgive and comfort him, or he may be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
8
So I beg you to reaffirm your love for him.
9
For this is why I wrote, that I might test you and know whether you are obedient in everything.
New International Version
Chapter 2
5
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.
7
Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
8
I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him.
9
Another reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.
New King James Version
Chapter 2
5
But if anyone has caused grief, he has not grieved me, but all of you to some extent—not to be too severe.
6
This punishment which
was inflicted
by the majority
is
sufficient for such a man,
7
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.
8
Therefore I urge you to reaffirm
your
love to him.
9
For to this end I also wrote, that I might put you to the test, whether you are obedient in all things.
