2 Cor. 79-11

• 9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry,
  but that ye sorrowed to repentance for ye were
  made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might
  receive damage by us in nothing.
• 10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to
  salvation not to be repented of but the sorrow
  of the world worketh death.
• 11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye
  sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it
  wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves,
  yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what
  vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what
  revenge! In all things ye have approved
  yourselves to be clear in this matter.
