Under inspiration, the apostle Paul described the actions of repentant Christians in Corinth. He wrote: “What a great earnestness your being saddened in a godly way produced in you, yes, clearing of yourselves, yes, indignation, yes, fear, yes, earnest desire, yes, zeal, yes, righting of the wrong! ”
Paulus kirjeldas, milles ilmnes Korintose kristlaste kahetsus, öeldes: „Vaadake, millise suure agaruse on teis esile kutsunud see, et te kurvastusite Jumalale meelepäraselt, millise soovi end puhastada, millise meelepaha, millise kartuse, millise tegutsemisiha, millise innukuse, millise õiguse jaluleseadmise! ”
