5 But if anyone has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not for me, but in some degree—2:5 Lit so that I not be burdensomenot 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.
