So I beg you to show him that you love him.
When we have the opportunity to do good to anyone, we should do it. But we should give special attention to those who are in the family of believers.
My brothers and sisters, God chose you to be free. But don’t use your freedom as an excuse to do what pleases your sinful selves. Instead, serve each other with love.
But now you should forgive him and encourage him. This will keep him from having too much sadness and giving up completely.
This is why I wrote to you. I wanted to test you and see if you obey in everything.
