I 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.

ગુજરાતીકરિંથીઓને બીજો પત્ર ૭:૯
પણ હવે હું આનંદ કરું છું તે તમે દુ:ખી થયા એટલા માટે નહિ, પણ દુ:ખી થવાથી તમે પસ્તાવો કર્યો તે માટે; કેમ કે તમને ઈશ્વરની ઇચ્છા પ્રમાણે દુ:ખી કરાયા હતા, કે અમારાથી તમને કંઈ નુકસાન ન થાય.
हिन्दी2 कुरिन्थियों ७:९
अब मैं आनन्दित हूँ पर इसलिए नहीं कि तुम को शोक पहुँचा वरन् इसलिए कि तुम ने उस शोक के कारण मन फिराया, क्योंकि तुम्हारा शोक परमेश्वर की इच्छा के अनुसार था, कि हमारी ओर से तुम्हें किसी बात में हानि न पहुँचे।

In context

7and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you while he told us of your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me, so that I rejoiced still more.

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.
