2 Corinthians 2:9KJV

7So that contrariwise ye rather to forgive , and comfort , lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

8Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm love toward him.

9For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.

10To whom ye forgive any thing, I also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave , for your sakes in the person of Christ;

11Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
