5 But if any one hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me (only), but a part of you all: that the word may not weigh upon you.

6 But sufficient for him was this chastisement, which was from many.

7 And now on the other hand it behoves you to forgive him and console him, lest he who is such an one be swallowed up of excessive grief.

8 Therefore I entreat of you to confirm to him your love.
