2 Corinthians 7:10-12

New Matthew Bible

¹⁰ For godly sorrow causes repentance unto salvation, not to be regretted, while worldly sorrow causes death.

¹¹ Behold what diligence this godly sorrow that you felt has wrought in you. Yea, it caused you to clear yourselves: it led to indignation, it led to fear, it led to desire, it led to a fervent mind, it led to punishment. For in every point you have shown yourselves to be clear in that matter. ¹² So although I wrote to you, I did it not for the sake of him who did the injury, nor for the sake of him who was injured, but so that our good mind that we have toward you in the sight of God might appear to you.
