2 Corinthians 7:9-11 But it has made me exceedingly happy, not that you were sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance: for you were sorry over the things of God, so that you lack nothing from us.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ But it has made me exceedingly happy, not that you were sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance: for you were sorry over the things of God, so that you lack nothing from us. ¹⁰ For sorrow over the things of God causes enduring repentance of the soul, and brings one to life: but sorrow over the things of the world causes death. ¹¹ For behold that very thing which distressed you on account of God, has resulted much more in painstaking effort, in apology, anger, fear, love, zeal, and vengeance. In all things you have proven yourselves clear in this matter.
