2 Corinthians 7:6–13

⁶Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us ^oby the coming of ^lTitus; ⁷and 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. ⁸For ^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. ⁹Now 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. ¹⁰For ^qxgodly sorrow worketh ^yrepentance to salvation ^znot to be repented of: but ^athe sorrow of the world worketh death. ¹¹For 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. ¹²Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor ^kfor his cause that suffered wrong, ^lbut that our ^ccare for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. ¹³Therefore ^mwe were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of ^mTitus, because his spirit ⁿwas refreshed by you all.
