6 The punishment that most of you gave him is enough for him.
7 But now you should forgive him and comfort him to keep him from having too much sadness and giving up completely.
8 So I beg you to show that you love him.
9 I wrote you to test you and to see if you obey in everything.
10 If you forgive someone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if I had anything to forgive—I forgave it for you, as if Christ were with me.
11 I did this so that Satan would not win anything from us, because we know very well what Satan’s plans are.
12 When I came to Troas to preach the Good News of Christ, the Lord gave me a good opportunity there.
