2 Corinthians 2:8

Legacy Standard Bible

Therefore I encourage you to reaffirm your love for him.

See the chapter Copy

so that on the contrary you should rather graciously forgive and comfort him, lest such a one be swallowed up by excessive sorrow.

For to this end also I wrote, so that I might know your proven character, whether you are obedient in all things.

For you were called to freedom, brothers; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.

So then, while we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.
