2 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 7New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
saddened in a godly way: That is, the Christians in Corinth not only felt regret but were saddened into repenting. In his preceding letter, Paul had reproved the congregation for tolerating a man who was committing sexual immorality. (1Co 5:1, 2, 13) As a result of taking the reproof to heart, the congregation as a whole adopted the right attitude and quit condoning his sin. In addition, the immoral man sincerely repented of his sin. (2Co 2:6-8; 7:11) The sadness that these Christians felt was godly in that it moved them to seek God’s forgiveness and to correct their course, bringing it into harmony with God’s will.—See study note on 2Co 7:10.
