 \v 1 I, Paul, together with Timothy our brother, write this letter to you. Christ Jesus sent me to serve him and to obey God's will. We are sending this letter to those who come together as God's people in the city of Corinth; we are also sending it to the all Christians who live in the region of Achaia—people whom God has set apart for himself.
 \v 2 May God give you the free gifts of his love and peace—these things that come from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

+\v 5 Just as we share the many sufferings of Christ, which are beyond all measure, we also experience through Christ comfort that cannot be measured.
 \v 6 So whenever we experience sufferings, it is so God may comfort you and rescue you from danger. Whenever God comforts us, it is so you can be comforted even more, so he can teach you to wait for God, when you suffer in the same way we suffered.
 \v 7 We are certain about what will happen to you; because you suffer like we suffer, God will also comfort you, as he does us.

-\v 8 I know the letter I wrote to you made you sad, but I had to write it. I did regret it when I wrote it, but what I wrote to you was necessary to help you deal with the problems in the church. I knew that your sorrow would last only for a short time.
+\v 8 I know the letter I wrote to you made you sad, but I do not regret that I wrote it to you. I did have regret when I saw that my letter made you sad, but what I wrote to you was necessary to help you deal with the problems in the church. I knew that your sorrow would last only for a short time.
 \v 9 And so now I can rejoice, not because you were sad when you read my letter, but because your sorrow turned you away from the sin that was hurting you so much, and it changed your sadness into a sorrow that God brought to you, a sorrow that gave you so much more than you had lost.
 \v 10 This kind of sorrow turns a person away from sin so that God can rescue him; people are glad, in the end, to have had this kind of sorrow. On the other hand, worldly sorrow, a sadness for your sins only because you were caught in them, can lead only to death.
