2 Corinthians 7:9-11

9I 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 1through us.

10For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a 2repentance 3without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

11For behold what earnestness this very thing, this 4godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what 5longing, what zeal, what 6avenging of wrong! In everything you 7demonstrated yourselves to be innocent in the matter.
