2 Corinthians 2:5-11
Hebrews 3:12-13
12See to it, brothers, that none of you has
a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away
from the living God. 13But encourage one
another daily, as long as it is called Today,
so that none of you may be hardened by
sin's deceitfulness.
Hebrews 10:24-25
24And let us consider how we may spur
one another on toward love and good
deeds.
25Let us not give up meeting together, as
some are in the habit of doing, but let us
encourage one another—and all the more
as you see the Day approaching.
2 Corinthians 2:4
4For I wrote you out of great distress and
anguish of heart and with many tears, not
to grieve you but to let you know the depth
of my love for you.
2 Corinthians 7:8-11
8Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not
regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter
hurt you, but only for a little while— 9yet now I am
happy, not because you were made sorry, but
because your sorrow led you to repentance. For
you became sorrowful as God intended and so
were not harmed in any way by us.
2 Corinthians 7:8-11
10Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to
salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow
brings death. 11See what this godly sorrow has
produced in you: what earnestness, what
eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation,
what alarm, what longing, what concern, what
readiness to see justice done. At every point you
have proved yourselves to be innocent in this
matter.
2 Corinthians 2:5
5If anyone has caused grief, he has not so
much grieved me as he has grieved all of
you, to some extent—not to put it too
severely. 6The punishment inflicted on him
by the majority is sufficient for him.
2 Corinthians 2:6
5If anyone has caused grief, he has
not so much grieved me as he has
grieved all of you, to some extent—
not to put it too severely. 6The
punishment inflicted on him by the
majority is sufficient for him.
Galatians 6:1
“Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin,
you who are spiritual should restore him
gently.”
2 Thessalonians 3:14-15
“If anyone does not obey our instruction in
the letter, take special note of him. Do not
associate with him, in order that he may
feel ashamed. Yet do not regard him as an
enemy, but warn him as a brother.”
2 Corinthians 2:7-8
7Now instead, you ought to forgive
and comfort him, so that he will not
be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
8I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your
love for him.
2 Corinthians 2:7-8
7Now instead, you ought to forgive
and comfort him, so that he will not
be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
8I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm
your love for him.
Luke 15:20-24
20So he got up and went to his father.
"But while he was still a long way off, his
father saw him and was filled with
compassion for him; he ran to his son,
threw his arms around him and kissed
him.
Luke 15:20-24
21"The son said to him, 'Father, I have
sinned against heaven and against you. I
am no longer worthy to be called your
son.'
22"But the father said to his servants,
'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on
him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals
on his feet.
Luke 15:20-24
23Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's
have a feast and celebrate. 24For this
son of mine was dead and is alive again;
he was lost and is found.' So they began
to celebrate.
2 Corinthians 2:9-10a
9The reason I wrote you was to see if
you would stand the test and be
obedient in everything. 10If you forgive
anyone, I also forgive him.
2 Corinthians 2:9-10a
9The reason I wrote you was to see if
you would stand the test and be
obedient in everything. 10If you
forgive anyone, I also forgive him.
Matthew 18:18-20
18"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on
earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever
you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19"Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth
agree about anything you ask for, it will be
done for you by my Father in heaven. 20For
where two or three come together in my
name, there am I with them."
2 Corinthians 2:10b-11
And what I have forgiven—if there was
anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the
sight of Christ for your sake, 11in order that
Satan might not outwit us. For we are not
unaware of his schemes.
