2 Corinthians 7:8-10

Lexham English Bible

⁸ For if indeed I grieved you by my letter, I do not regret it. Even if I did regret it (I see^[a] that that letter grieved you, even though for a short time^[b]), ⁹ now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved according to the will of God, so that you suffered loss in no way through us. ¹⁰ For grief according to the will of God brings about a repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted, but worldly grief brings about death.
