For [godly] sorrow that is in accord with the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation; but worldly sorrow [the hopeless sorrow of those who do not believe] produces death.
For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
Distress that drives us to God does that. It turns us around. It gets us back in the way of salvation. We never regret that kind of pain. But those who let distress drive them away from God are full of regrets, end up on a deathbed of regrets. 11-13 And now, isn’t it wonderful all the ways in which this distress has goaded you closer to God? You’re more alive, more concerned, more sensitive, more reverent, more human, more passionate, more responsible. Looked at from any angle, you’ve come out of this with purity of heart. And that is what I was hoping for in the first place when I wrote the letter. My primary concern was not for the one who did the wrong or even the one wronged, but for you—that you would realize and act upon the deep, deep ties between us before God. That’s what happened—and we felt just great. 13-16 And then, when we saw how Titus felt—his exuberance over your response—our joy doubled. It was wonderful to see how revived and refreshed he was by everything you did. If I went out on a limb in telling Titus how great I thought you were, you didn’t cut off that limb. As it turned out, I hadn’t exaggerated one bit. Titus saw for himself that everything I had said about you was true. He can’t quit talking about it, going over again and again the story of your prompt obedience, and the dignity and sensitivity of your hospitality. He was quite overwhelmed by it all! And I couldn’t be more pleased—I’m so confident and proud of you.
For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance [d]without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
Porque Dios permite a veces que la tristeza venga sobre nosotros para conducirnos al arrepentimiento y alcanzar la salvación. Por tanto, no debemos lamentar esa tristeza, que no es como la que procede del mundo, que lleva a la muerte.
Godly sadness causes us to turn away from our sins and be saved. And we are certainly not sorry about that! But worldly sadness brings death.
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 and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
For the kind of sorrow God wants us to experience leads us away from sin and results in salvation. There’s no regret for that kind of sorrow. But worldly sorrow, which lacks repentance, results in spiritual death.

Arabic
فَإِنَّ الْحُزْنَ الَّذِي يُوَافِقُ مَشِيئَةَ اللهِ يُنْتِجُ تَوْبَةً تُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْخَلاصِ، وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ نَدَمٌ. وَأَمَّا حُزْنُ الْعَالَمِ فَيُنْتِجُ مَوْتاً.
Cebuano
Kay ang kasub-anan nga sumala sa kabubut-on sa Dios nagahatod sa tawo ngadto sa paghinulsol ug kana nagaresulta sa kaluwasan—ug kini dili angay pagabasolan. Apan ang kasubo sa mga tawo nga wala moila sa Dios nagadala kanila ngadto sa kamatayon.
Czech
Bůh užil bolesti jako léku k vaší nápravě, takže jsem vám nijak neublížil. Lítost způsobená Bohem vede člověka ke změně postoje a tím i k záchraně, taková lítost je žádoucí. Na druhé straně nespokojenost bez Boha člověka jen ubíjí.
Danish

Hebrew

Hiligaynon
Kay ang kasubo nga suno sa kabubut-on sang Dios nagadala sa tawo sa paghinulsol, kag ina nagaresulta sing kaluwasan nga indi dapat hinulsulan. Pero ang kasubo sang mga tawo nga wala nagakilala sa Dios nagadala sa ila sa kamatayon.

Boży smutek sprawia, że ludzie porzucają grzech i dążą do zbawienia—po jakimś czasie nikt się więc nie martwi tym, że został w ten sposób zasmucony. Smutek pochodzący z tego świata jest jednak zupełnie inny, prowadzi bowiem ludzi do rozpaczy i śmierci.
