2 Corinthians 7:8-11

« 2 Cor 62 Cor 72 Cor 8 »

8 For though I ^acaused 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 ¹godly sorrow, so that you might not suffer loss in anything ²through us. 10 For ¹godly sorrow produces a ^arepentance ²without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world brings about death. 11 For behold what earnestness this very thing—this ¹godly sorrow—has brought about in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what ^alonging, what zeal, what ^bavenging of wrong! In everything you ^cdemonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.
