So that contrariwise ye [ought] rather to forgive [him], and comfort [him], lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.	Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm [your] love toward him.	For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
