2 Corinthians 2:5-7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
5 But[a] if anyone has caused-grief, he has grieved not me, but in part[b] (that I not be a burden[c]), you all. 6 This[d] punishment by the majority is sufficient[e] for such a one, 7 so that on-the-contrary[f], instead you should forgive and comfort him, that such a one should not somehow be swallowed-up by more grief.
