*
For even if I made you sorry with my letter ,
I do not regret it (
though I did regret it ),
for I see that that letter grieved you ,
though only for a while .
*
As it is ,
I rejoice ,
not because you were grieved ,
but because you were grieved into repenting ;
for you felt a godly grief ,
so that you suffered no loss through us .
*
For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation and brings no regret ,
but worldly grief produces death .
*
For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you ,
what eagerness to clear yourselves ,
what indignation ,
what alarm ,
what longing ,
what zeal ,
what punishment !
At every point you have proved yourselves guiltless in the matter .
