2 Corinthians 7:6-8

New International Reader's Version

⁶ But God comforts those who are sad. He comforted us when Titus came. ⁷ We were comforted not only when he came but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us how much you longed for me. He told us about your deep sadness and concern for me. That made my joy greater than ever.

⁸ Even if my letter made you sad, I’m not sorry I sent it. At first I was sorry. I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while.
