14 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.^(A) You believe^(B) in God^[a];^(C) believe also in me.

¹⁰ Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation^(A) and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.

⁷ Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him,^(A) so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.
