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.

^4 (A)He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ^(B)death shall be no more, ^(C)neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
