2 Corinthians 2:8

New International Version

I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him.

See the chapter Copy

Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

Another reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything.

You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
