Bible verse
But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,
2 Corinthians 7:6 · BSB
The verses around it, from 2 Corinthians 7.
2 Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.
3 I do not say this to condemn you. I have said before that you so occupy our hearts that we live and die together with you.
4 Great is my confidence in you; great is my pride in you; I am filled with encouragement; in all our troubles my joy overflows.
5 For when we arrived in Macedonia, our bodies had no rest, but we were pressed from every direction—conflicts on the outside, fears within.
6 But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the arrival of Titus,
7 and not only by his arrival, but also by the comfort he had received from you. He told us about your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced all the more.
8 Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Although I did regret it, I now see that my letter caused you sorrow, but only for a short time.
9 And now I rejoice, not because you were made sorrowful, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you felt the sorrow that God had intended, and so were not harmed in any way by us.
10 Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
