2 Corinthians 7:9-16
English Standard Version
9 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but (A)because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.
10 For (B)godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas (C)worldly grief produces death. 11 For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, (D)what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter. 12 So although I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the one (E)who did the wrong, nor for the sake of the one who suffered the wrong, but in order that your earnestness for us might be revealed to you in the sight of God. 13 Therefore (F)we are comforted.
And besides our own comfort, we rejoiced still more at the joy of Titus, because his spirit (G)has been refreshed by you all. 14 For (H)whatever boasts I made to him about you, I was not put to shame. But just as everything we said to you (I)was true, so also our boasting before Titus has proved true. 15 And his affection for you is even greater, as he remembers (J)the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling. 16 I rejoice, because I have complete (K)confidence in you.

10 (A)when one told me, ‘Behold, Saul is dead,’ and thought he was bringing good news, (B)I seized him and killed him at Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news. 11 How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed, shall I not now (C)require his blood at your hand and destroy you from the earth?” 12 And David commanded his young men, and they killed them and cut off their hands and feet and hanged them beside the pool at Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it (D)in the tomb of Abner at Hebron.

Joshua 22:22-33
English Standard Version
22 “The Mighty One, (A)God, the Lord! The Mighty One, God, the Lord! (B)He knows; and let Israel itself know! If it was in rebellion or in breach of faith against the Lord, do not spare us today 23 for building an altar to turn away from following the Lord. Or if we did so to offer burnt offerings or grain offerings or peace offerings on it, may the Lord himself (C)take vengeance. 24 No, but we did it from fear that (D)in time to come your children might say to our children, ‘What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel? 25 For the Lord has made the Jordan a boundary between us and you, you people of Reuben and people of Gad. You have no portion in the Lord.’ So your children might make our children cease to worship the Lord. 26 Therefore we said, ‘Let us now build an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for sacrifice, 27 but to be (E)a witness between us and you, and between our generations after us, that we (F)do perform the service of the Lord in his presence with our burnt offerings and sacrifices and peace offerings, so your children will not say to our children in time to come, “You have no portion in the Lord.”’ 28 And we thought, ‘If this should be said to us or to our descendants in time to come, we should say, “Behold, the copy of the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not for burnt offerings, nor for sacrifice, but to be (G)a witness between us and you.”’ 29 Far be it from us that we should (H)rebel against the Lord and turn away this day from following the Lord (I)by building an altar for burnt offering, grain offering, or sacrifice, other than the altar of the Lord our God that stands before his tabernacle!”
30 When (J)Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the congregation, the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the people of Reuben and the people of Gad and the people of Manasseh spoke, (K)it was good in their eyes. 31 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the people of Reuben and the people of Gad and the people of Manasseh, “Today we know that (L)the Lord is in our midst, because you have not committed this breach of faith against the Lord. Now you have delivered the people of Israel from the hand of the Lord.”
32 Then Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the chiefs, returned from the people of Reuben and the people of Gad (M)in the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the people of Israel, and brought back word to them. 33 And the report (N)was good in the eyes of the people of Israel. And the people of Israel (O)blessed God and spoke no more of making war against them to destroy the land where the people of Reuben and the people of Gad were settled.
