9 Or mi rallegro, non perchè siate stati contristati, ma perchè siete stati contristati a ravvedimento; perciocchè voi siete stati contristati secondo Iddio, acciocchè in cosa alcuna voi non riceveste alcun danno da noi.
9
yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.
