| 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. | Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. | For behold, this selfsame thing, that ye were made sorry after a godly sort, what earnest care it wrought in you, yea what clearing of yourselves, yea what indignation, yea what fear, yea what longing, yea what zeal, yea what avenging! In everything ye approved yourselves to be pure in the matter. |

AI-assisted, sourced2 Corinthians 7:5-12Godly sorrow
About 2 Corinthians 7"Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God," Paul writes, and asks them, "Receive us; we have wronged no man." In Macedonia he was "troubled on every side," but God "comforted us by the coming of Titus" and by his news of their longing and zeal. Though Paul's letter made them sorry, he rejoices that they "sorrowed to repentance," for "godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." 2 Corinthians 7:12 Corinthians 7:22 Corinthians 7:52 Corinthians 7:62 Corinthians 7:72 Corinthians 7:82 Corinthians 7:92 Corinthians 7:10
