2 Corinthians 7:10–16
10For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.↗
11For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.↗
12So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.↗
13Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.↗
14For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.↗
15His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.↗
16I rejoice that in everything I am confident concerning you.↗
