2 Corinthians 7 · Grade 4

Sorrow That Leads to Life

Name Date

Read and Think

Paul wants believers to cleanse themselves from everything that makes body and spirit unclean, growing in holiness out of reverence for God. He asks the Corinthians to make room for him in their hearts. He has wronged no one, and he has great pride in them.

When Paul arrived in Macedonia, he had no rest. There were conflicts outside and fears inside. But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted him by the coming of Titus. Titus reported that the Corinthians longed for Paul, were sorry, and cared deeply for him.

Paul's earlier letter had made them sad, and for a moment he regretted sending it. Now he rejoices, not because they were sad, but because their sadness led them to repent. Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret. Worldly sorrow, which is only sad about consequences, leads to death. Their sorrow produced eagerness to make things right.

2 Corinthians 7 · Grade 5

Godly Grief and Joy

Name Date

Read and Think

Paul draws a practical conclusion from the promises of chapter 6. Since God will dwell among His people, believers should cleanse themselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God. Paul then renews his plea for open hearts. He has wronged, corrupted, and exploited no one, and he holds the Corinthians in his heart to live and die together.

Paul resumes the travel story he paused in chapter 2. In Macedonia his body had no rest; he was afflicted at every turn, with fighting without and fear within. But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted him through the arrival of Titus and through the report Titus brought of the church's longing, mourning, and zeal for Paul.

Paul reflects on the letter he had written with many tears. It caused grief, and he briefly regretted it, but now he rejoices because their grief led to repentance. He distinguishes two kinds of sorrow. Godly sorrow produces repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow produces death. Their godly grief produced earnestness, eagerness to clear themselves, indignation, alarm, longing, zeal, and readiness to see justice done. Titus's joy and affection for them confirm that Paul's boasting about them was true, and Paul rejoices in complete confidence.
