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

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.
