2 Corinthians 1:6; 2 Corinthians 6:2; 2 Corinthians 7:10

6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

2 (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
