2 Corinthians 7:8-11 (Weymouth)

I love how this version uses the word "pain" here instead of sorrow.

For if I did give you pain by my letter, I do not regret it; if I did regret it (for I see that that letter, if only for a time, gave you pain), now I rejoice, not in your pain, but because the pain led to repentance; for your pain was such as God accepts, so that you received no injury from us in any respect. For the pain God accepts produces repentance not to be regretted, leading to salvation; but the pain of the world finally produces death. For mark this very pain that God accepts, what earnestness it has called forth in you, what self-defence, what indignation, what alarm, what longing affection, what jealousy, what requital of wrong! You have completely wiped away reproach from yourselves in the matter.
