  • 2 Cor 2:4-6 : 4 For out of great distress and anguish of heart, I wrote to you with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the love I have for you more abundantly. 5 Now if anyone has caused sorrow, they have not grieved me alone but to some degree—not to overburden you—they have grieved all of you. 6 The punishment imposed by the majority is sufficient for such a person.
  • 2 Cor 7:8-9 : 8 For even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it at first, I see that this letter grieved you, though only for a while. 9 Now I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because your grief led to repentance. For you were grieved as God intended, so that you would not suffer any loss from us. 10 For godly sorrow produces repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow produces death.
