I do not mean that we lord it over your faith, but we are workers with you for your joy, because you stand firm in your faith. In fact, I made up my mind about this: I would not come to you on another painful visit. For if I cause you pain, then who will cheer me other than the one being hurt by me? I wrote this very thing so that when I came I wouldn’t have pain from those who ought to give me joy, because I am confident about all of you that my joy will also be yours. For I wrote to you with many tears out of an extremely troubled and anguished heart — not to cause you pain, but that you should know the abundant love I have for you.\nIf anyone has caused pain, he has caused pain not so much to me but to some degree — not to exaggerate — to all of you. This punishment by the majority is sufficient for that person. As a result, you should instead forgive and comfort him. Otherwise, he may be overwhelmed by excessive grief. Therefore I urge you to reaffirm your love to him. I wrote for this purpose: to test your character to see if you are obedient in everything. Anyone you forgive, I do too. For what I have forgiven — if I have forgiven anything — it is for your benefit in the presence of Christ, so that we may not be taken advantage of by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his schemes.\nGet a digital copy of the Cruciformed Journal\nSubscribe to AfterWords on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.\nVisit us online: rivchurch.com\nFollow us on Instagram\nSend us feedback: podcast@rivchurch.com","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/6iZhDeIQr1p5qJiDTC-IAsIKK12EbomGV53Z5BimCLY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzQ4NDQzLzE3MDQ2/NTYyMjQtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
