2 Corinthians 7:9-11

New American Standard Bible

⁹ I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything ^[a]through us. ¹⁰ For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a ^(A)repentance ^[b]without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. ¹¹ For behold what earnestness this very thing, this ^[c]godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what ^(B)longing, what zeal, what ^(C)punishment of wrong! In everything you ^(D)demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.
