“I now rejoice, not that you were made
sorrowful, but that you were made
sorrowful to the point of repentance; for
you were made sorrowful according to the
will of God, in order that you might not
suffer loss in anything through us. For the
sorrow that is according to the will of God
produces a repentance without regret,
leading to salvation; but the sorrow of the
world produces death.”
