10For cgodly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas dworldly grief produces death. 11For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, ewhat zeal, what punishment! At every point you have proved yourselves innocent in the matter.James 4:9
9 fBe wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
