Hello, retxar. May I post a footnote to your post? The text: 1 Cor. 7:10,11 [NKJV], "For godly sorrow produces repentence leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter.".... The exegesis: [Believer's Study Bible: Thomas Nelson] "No one comes to Christ and salvation without sorrow for his sins. But sorrow in isolation only produces death. The sorrow of the world produces bitterness, hatred, avarice, and eventually death. Genuine godly sorrow works repentence unto salvation. 'Repentence' is the translation of two different Greek words. Judas repented (metamelomai), which means that he had regret concerning the way things developed (cf.Matt.27:3). The repentence mentioned in 1 Cor. 7:10 is metanoian, meaning a complete reversal. Literally, the term means 'to think after, to have an afterthought, to have a second mind' i.e., 'to change one's mind.' When a man recognizes sorrowfully his sinfulness and helplessness in his failure, he has a mind to seek God by faith in Christ. The inevitable result of this genuine repentence is a renewed interest in spiritual matters (v.11). Godly sorrow led the Corinthians to diligence, determination to clear themselves of charges, indignation against sin, fear of God, vehement desire for righteousness, zeal, and vindication. These verses reveal that repentence is to be a constant companion of the Christian from his conversion to his glorification." --Hank | ||||||
