2 Corinthians 7:9-11

Revised Geneva Translation

⁹ I now rejoice, not that you were sorry, but that you sorrowed unto repentance. For you sorrowed in a godly way, so that in nothing were you hurt by us.

¹⁰ For godly sorrow causes repentance unto salvation, not to be reconsidered. But the worldly sorrow causes death.

¹¹ For behold, this thing of which you have been godly sorry, what great care it has wrought in you; yea, what acquittal of yourselves; yea, what indignation; yea, what fear; yea, how great desire; yea, what a zeal; yea, what vengeance. In all things, you have shown yourselves to be pure in this matter.
