2 Corinthians 7:10

ἡ γὰρ κατὰ Θεὸν λύπη κ. τ. λ.: for such godly sorrow, i.e., sorrow for sin as an offence against God (Psalms 50:6) and not only for the temporal consequences of sin (cf. Bengel, “animi Deum spectantis et sequentis”), worketh repentance which leads to salvation, a repentance which bringeth no regret. ἀμεταμέλητον may be taken with σωτηρία (see R.V. margin), but there would be no point in applying such an adj. to σωτηρία, whereas it is quite apposite as applied to μετάνοια (as by Chrys., R.V., etc.). ἡ δὲ τοῦ κόσμου κ. τ. λ.: but the sorrow of the world, sc., such sorrow as the world feels for failure, not for sin worketh out death, sc., as opposed to σωτηρία (cf. chap. 2 Corinthians 2:16).
