2 CORINTHIANS 7:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“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.”
Yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us — the distinction is crucial: godly sorrow (lypē kata theon) produces metanoia (repentance/transformation), not harm. The sorrow achieved its divine purpose.
