King James Version
"For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death."
— 2 Corinthians 7:10, King James Version
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. ”
“For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.”
“For sadness as intended by God produces a repentance that leads to salvation, leaving no regret, but worldly sadness brings about death.”
“For the sorrow that is according to God worketh penance, steadfast unto salvation: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
“For the sorrow which God gives is the cause of salvation through a change of heart, in which there is no reason for grief: but the sorrow of the world is a cause of death.”
“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”

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.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.
Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.
Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.
