2 Corinthians 7:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ For although I made you sorrowful by my epistle, I do not repent; and if I did repent, seeing that the same epistle (although but for a time) did make you sorrowful;

⁹ Now I am glad: not because you were made sorrowful; but because you were made sorrowful unto penance. For you were made sorrowful according to God, that you might suffer damage by us in nothing.

¹⁰ For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation; but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
