"Let this rebuke be sufficient for someone like this, for it has been brought by many. "
— 2 Corinthians 2:6, Catholic Public Domain 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; ”
“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 so, I wrote this same thing to you, so that I might not, when I arrive, add sorrow to sorrow for those with whom I ought to rejoice, having confidence in you in all things, so that my joy may be entirely yours.
For with much tribulation and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears: not so that you would be sorrowful, but so that you might know the charity that I have more abundantly toward you.
But if anyone has brought sorrow, he has not sorrowed me. Yet, for my part, this is so that I might not burden all of you.
Let this rebuke be sufficient for someone like this, for it has been brought by many.
So then, to the contrary, you should be more forgiving and consoling, lest perhaps someone like this may be overwhelmed with excessive sorrow.
Because of this, I beg you to confirm your charity toward him.
It was for this reason, also, that I wrote, so that I might know, by testing you, whether you would be obedient in all things.
