2 Corinthians 7:8
"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."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

For though I made you sorry with a letter,.... His former epistle, relating to the incestuous person: I do not repent, though I did repent; not of writing the letter,

which was wrote by divine inspiration; but of the sorrow occasioned by it, though now he did not repent of that: for I perceive that the same epistle made you sorry, though it were but for a season; inasmuch as the sorrow was true, hearty, and genuine, though it was but for a time, the apostle was entirely satisfied, and the more pleased, because of its brevity, since it was sincere.
