New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
8
For though I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it; though I did regret it—
for
I see that that letter caused you sorrow, though only for a while—
9
I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to
the point of
repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to
the will of
God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.
10
For the sorrow that is according to
the will of
God produces a repentance without regret,
leading
to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
King James Version
Chapter 7
8
For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
9
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.
10
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
8
For even if I grieved you with my letter, I don’t regret it. And if I regretted it—since I saw that the letter grieved you, yet only for a while—
9
I now rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because your grief led to repentance. For you were grieved as God willed, so that you didn’t experience any loss from us.
10
For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly grief produces death.
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
8
I am not sorry that I sent that severe letter to you, though I was sorry at first, for I know it was painful to you for a little while.
9
Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way.
10
For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
8
For even if I made you grieve with my letter, I do not regret it — though I 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 because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us.
10
For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.
New International Version
Chapter 7
8
Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—
9
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.
10
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
New King James Version
Chapter 7
8
For even if I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it; though 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 godly sorrow produces repentance
leading
to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death.
