⁸ For even though I did grieve you with my letter, I do not regret , though I did regret it; for I see that that letter did pain you, though only for a little while; ⁹ Yet I am glad now, not because you were pained, but because you were pained into repentance ; for you felt a grief such as God meant you to feel, so that in nothing you might suffer loss through us or harm for what we did. ¹⁰ For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret; but worldly grief (the hopeless sorrow that is characteristic of the pagan world) is deadly . ¹¹ For observe what this same godly sorrow has done for you and has produced in you: what eagerness and earnest care to explain and clear yourselves , what indignation , what alarm, what yearning, what zeal , what readiness to mete out punishment ! At every point you have proved yourselves cleared and guiltless in the matter.
