5 For indeed, awhen we came to Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but bwe were troubled on every side. cOutside were conflicts, inside were fears.
6 Nevertheless aGod, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by bthe coming of Titus,
7 and not only by his coming, but also by the1 consolation with which he was comforted in you, when he told us of your earnest desire, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced even more.
8 For even if I made you asorry with my letter, I do not regret it; bthough I did regret it. For I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though only for a while.
9 Now I rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that your sorrow led to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly manner, that you might suffer loss from us in nothing.
10 For agodly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; bbut the sorrow of the world produces death.
