2 Corinthians 7:8-10 ▼

8 For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it—for I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while—

9 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to repentance. For you were made to have godly sorrow, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.

10 For godly sorrow produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world brings about death.
