2 Corinthians 7:8-10

New Matthew Bible

⁸ Therefore, though I made you sorrowful with a letter, I do not regret it – though I did have regrets. For I realize that the letter made you sorrowful, though it was but for a season. ⁹ But now I am happy – not that you were sorrowful, but that you so sorrowed that you repented. For your sorrow was godly, so that in nothing were you hurt by us. ¹⁰ For godly sorrow causes repentance unto salvation, not to be regretted, while worldly sorrow causes death.
