2 Corinthians 7:10-12 For godly sorrow works repentance not to be regretted, which leads to salvation: but the sorrow of the world works death.

Anderson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ For godly sorrow works repentance not to be regretted, which leads to salvation: but the sorrow of the world works death. ¹¹ For behold this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner; what earnestness it produced in you; what defense of yourselves; what indignation; what fear; what strong affection; what zeal; what assertion of right. In all respects you have shown yourselves to be blame less in this matter. ¹² Therefore, though I wrote to you, it was not on account of him who did the wrong, nor on account of him who received the wrong; but that our diligent care for you, in the sight of God, might be made manifest to you.
