2 Corinthians 2:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ I had also written to you to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in every way. ¹⁰ When you forgive someone, I do, too. Indeed, what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I did^[a] in the presence of the Messiah^[b] for your benefit, ¹¹ so that we may not be outsmarted by Satan. After all, we are not unaware of his intentions.
