For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને બીજો પત્ર ૭:૧૦
કેમ કે ઈશ્વરની ઇચ્છા પ્રમાણે થતું દુ:ખ શોક ઉપજાવતું નથી પરંતુ ઉદ્ધાર પમાડે તેવો પસ્તાવો ઉપજાવે છે; પણ જગિક દુ:ખ મરણ પમાડે છે.
हिन्दी2 कुरिन्थियों ७:१०
क्योंकि परमेश्वर-भक्ति का शोक ऐसा पश्चाताप उत्पन्न करता है; जिसका परिणाम उद्धार है और फिर उससे पछताना नहीं पड़ता: परन्तु सांसारिक शोक मृत्यु उत्पन्न करता है।

In context

8For though I grieved you with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you grieve, though just for a while.

9I now rejoice, not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved to repentance. For you were grieved in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.

10For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world produces death.

11For behold, this same thing, that you were grieved in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vindication! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.

12So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
