2 Corinthians 7:7-11 And not only by his presence, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted over you, telling us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so as for me to rejoice more.

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ And not only by his presence, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted over you, telling us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so as for me to rejoice more. ⁸ For even if I grieved you in the letter, I do not regret, if indeed I did regret, for I see that letter grieved you for an hour. ⁹ Now I rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved according to God, that you might suffer loss in nothing by us. ¹⁰ For the grief according to God works repentance to salvation, not to be regretted. But the grief of the world works out death. ¹¹ For behold this same thing, you being grieved according to God, how much it worked out earnestness in you, but also defense, but also indignation, but also fear, but also desire, but also zeal, but also vengeance! In everything you commended yourselves to be clear in the matter.
