2 Coríntios 2

5 Now I want to write about the man who caused all this anguish. What he did was very wrong, but I know that it has caused you much more sorrow than it has caused me, because what he did has affected all of you to some extent. I say, "to some extent," because I do not want to say that he has done more harm than he really has done. 6 Since he has now stopped sinning in that way, the punishment that nearly all of you decided was right for him has continued long enough. 7 So now, instead of punishing him any longer, you need to forgive him and deal kindly with him. If you do not forgive him, he may become so sad that he will begin to think that you will never forgive him (OR, will stop believing in Christ).

8 For those reasons, I beg you to forgive him and accept him into your group again, and by doing that assure him that you truly love him.
