2 Corinthians 7:6-8

New Matthew Bible

⁶ Nevertheless, God, who comforts the abject, comforted us at the coming of Titus. ⁷ And not with his coming only, but also with the consolation that he was comforted with by you. For he told us of your longing, your mourning, your fervent heart for me, so that I now rejoice the more. 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.
