New Testament

2 Corinthians 2:7-12 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

7. Now you should forgive him and comfort him. Then he won't be sad more than he can stand.

8. So I'm asking you to tell him again that you still love him.

9. I wrote to you for a special reason. I wanted to see if you could stand the test. I wanted to see if you could obey everything that was asked of you.

10. Anyone you forgive I also forgive. Was there anything to forgive? If so, I have forgiven it for your benefit, knowing that Christ is watching.

11. We don't want Satan to outsmart us. We know how he does his evil work.

12. I went to Troas to preach the good news about Christ. There I found that the Lord had opened a door of opportunity for me.
