2 Corinthians 7:8 in context

  1. 6Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
  2. 7and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.
  3. 8For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.
  4. 9I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
  5. 10For godly sorrow produces repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.
