Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Now I'm actually happy — not because you felt bad, but because that sadness led you to real change. You felt the right kind of sorry, the kind that comes from God, so nothing we did actually hurt you in the end.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes feeling bad about our choices is exactly what we need to grow.
