2 Corinthians 7

10 Now godly sorrow produces repentance into salvation without regret, but the world’s sorrow produces death.*The Creator made us with emotions, which when properly used are beneficial, but that under the world’s control are destructive.

11 Just consider your own being caused to sorrow in a godly manner, how much diligence it produced in you—what self-defense, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you have demonstrated yourselves to be clear in the matter.
