2 Corinthians 2:7-9

Young's Literal Translation

⁷ so that, on the contrary, [it is] rather for you to forgive and to comfort, lest by over abundant sorrow such a one may be swallowed up;

⁸ wherefore, I call upon you to confirm love to him,

⁹ for, for this also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether in regard to all things ye are obedient.
