2 Corinthians 7:11
Context7:11 For see what this very thing, this sadness 5 as God intended, has produced in you: what eagerness, what defense of yourselves, 6 what indignation, 7 what alarm, what longing, what deep concern, 8 what punishment! 9 In everything you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

4 tn Grk “in the fear of God.”
5 tn Grk “this very thing, to be grieved.”
6 tn The words “of yourselves” are not in the Greek text but are implied.
7 sn What indignation refers to the Corinthians’ indignation at the offender.
