5 For even ^zwhen we came into Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were afflicted at every turn— ^aafighting without and fear within. 6 But ^abGod, who comforts the downcast, ^accomforted us by the coming of Titus, 7 and not only by his coming but also by the comfort with which he was comforted by you, as he told us of your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more. 8 For ^adeven if I made you grieve with my letter, I do not regret it—though ^aeI did regret it, for I see that that letter grieved you, though only for a while. 9 As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but ^afbecause you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.

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