For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation not to be regretted: but the sorrow of the world works death.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 7:10 Go To 2 Corinthians 7
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Godly grief brings about the death of worldliness. When the sinner is found out he is grieved because he is bound to be punished, not having anyone from whom he may expect mercy. Perhaps for the moment there may be nobody who can exact retribution from him, but he knows he will not be able to escape the judgment of God. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
