2 Corinthians 7:8

For even if I made you grieve with my letter , I do not regret it— though I did regret it, for I see that that letter grieved you , though only for a while .

Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it—I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while—

For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent : for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.
