6. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
7. So that instead you ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with too much sorrow.
8. Therefore I beseech you that you would confirm your love toward him.
9. For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
10. To whom you forgive anything, I forgive also: for if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes I forgave it in the person of Christ;
11. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.
12. Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord,

14. Now thanks be unto God, who always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the fragrance of his knowledge by us in every place.
15. For we are unto God a sweet fragrance of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
16. To the one we are the fragrance of death unto death; and to the other the fragrance of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?
