— 2 Corinthians 7:10 —
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
"Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation" refers to the sorrow for our sins that results in changed behavior. Many people are sorry only for the effects of their sins or for being caught ("worldly sorrow"). Compare Peter's remorse and repentance with Judas' bitterness and act of suicide. Both disowned Christ. One repented and was restored to faith and service; the other took his own life.
