2. Produced by Godly Sorrow:
“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. For Godly
sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be
regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For
observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a Godly manner:
What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves,
what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal,
what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear
