7 characteristics of godly sorrow in 2 Corinthians 7:10, 11

2 Corinthians 7:10, 11

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. See what this godly sorrow has produced in you:

what earnestness,

what eagerness to clear yourselves,

what indignation,

what alarm,

what longing,

what concern,

what readiness to see justice done.

At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter. 

5 paradoxes in the life of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4

2 Corinthians 4:7-10

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;

perplexed, but not in despair; 

persecuted, but not abandoned;

struck down, but not destroyed. 

We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus,

so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
