"Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many; "
— 2 Corinthians 2:6, American Standard Version
“Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.”
“Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;”
“This punishment on such an individual by the majority is enough for him,”
“To him who is such a one, this rebuke is sufficient, which is given by many.”
“Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;”
“Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.”
And I wrote this very thing, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be made sorry, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
But if any hath caused sorrow, he hath caused sorrow, not to me, but in part (that I press not too heavily) to you all.
Sufficient to such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the many;
so that contrariwise ye should rather forgive him and comfort him, lest by any means such a one should be swallowed up with his overmuch sorrow.
Wherefore I beseech you to confirm your love toward him.
For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye are obedient in all things.
