You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous on every occasion, ¹  which is producing through us thanksgiving to God,

For our momentary, light suffering ¹  is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison

Now the one who prepared us for this very purpose ¹  is God, who gave us the Spirit as a down payment. ² 

For sadness as intended by God produces a repentance that leads to salvation, leaving no regret, but worldly sadness brings about death.

Indeed, the signs of an apostle were performed among you with great perseverance ¹  by signs and wonders and powerful deeds. ² 

For see what this very thing, this sadness ¹  as God intended, has produced in you: what eagerness, what defense of yourselves, ²  what indignation, ³  what alarm, what longing, what deep concern, ⁴  what punishment! ⁵  In everything you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
