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. 11 See what earnestness this godly sorrow has produced in you! What eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what readiness to see justice done! At every point you have proved yourselves to be pure in this matter. 12 So even though I wrote to you, it was not for the sake of the one who did the wrong or for the sake of the one who was wronged, but to reveal to you, in the sight of God, your earnestness on our behalf.
