Forgiveness for the sinner

2 Corinthians 3:9-11 I wrote to you as I did to find out how far you would go in obeying me. When you forgive this man, I forgive him, too. And when I forgive him (for whatever is to be forgiven) I do so with Christs authority for your benifit so that satan will not outsmart us. For we are very familiar with his evil schemes.
