9. Formal Translation Now I rejoice not that you were grieved, but that you were grieved into repentance. For you were grieved according to God {Theos, Holy Measure}, so that in nothing you might be harmed from us. |
9. Dynamic Translation I am happy now, not because you felt sorrow, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. You were made sad in a way that was in line with God {Theos, Wise Corrector}, so that you would suffer no loss through us in any way. |
