A Letter That Caused Sadness
9 but I am glad now ??not glad that you were pained but glad that your pain induced you to repent. For you were pained as God meant you to be pained, and so you got no harm from what I did; 10 the pain God is allowed to guide ends in a saving repentance never to be regretted, whereas the world's pain ends in death. 11 See what this pain divine has done for you, how serious it has made you, how keen to clear yourselves, how indignant, how alarmed, how eager for me, how determined, how relentless! You have shown in every way that you were honest in the business.
