2 Corinthians 7:5–11

5 For, lwhen we were come into Macedonia, lour flesh had no rest, but we were mtroubled on every side; nwithout were fightings, within were fears. 6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us oby the coming of lTitus; 7 And not by his coming only, but kby the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your pearnest desire, qyour mourning, your rfervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more. 8 For sthough I made you sorry with a letter, I do not trepent, ttthough I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but ufor a season. 9 Now I rejoice, vnot that ye were made sorry, but vthat ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry ||after a godly manner, that ye might wreceive damage by us in nothing. 10 For qxgodly sorrow worketh yrepentance to salvation znot to be repented of: but athe sorrow of the world worketh death. 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed bafter a godly sort, what ccarefulness it wrought in you, yea, what dclearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what efear, yea, what fvehement desire, yea, what fgzeal, yea, what grevenge! In all things ye have happroved yourselves to be clear iin this matter.
