2 Corinthians 7:9-10

9 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but ^ebecause you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.

10 For ^fgodly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas ^gworldly grief produces death.

Ephesians 4:12-16

12 ^hto equip the saints for the work of ministry, for ⁱbuilding up ^jthe body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to ^kthe unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, ^lto mature manhood, ^{▼▼Greek to a full-grown man} to the measure of the stature of ⁿthe fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, ^otossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in ^pdeceitful schemes. 15 Rather, ^qspeaking the truth in love, we are to ^rgrow up in every way into him who is ^sthe head, into Christ, 16 ^tfrom whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, ^uwhen each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

^zseen by angels,
^aaproclaimed among the nations,
^abbelieved on in the world,
^actaken up in glory.

3 If anyone ^adteaches a different doctrine and does not agree with ^aethe sound ^{▼▼Or healthy} words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching ^agthat accords with godliness,
