Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love for him.
So you should forgive and comfort him instead, so that he will not be overwhelmed with excessive sorrow.
I wrote to you because I wanted to test your character and see if you would be obedient in everything.
You were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another in love.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, and especially to those of the household of faith.
