(2 Tim. 2:25‑26)
the sorrow.The sorrow of carnal men about worldly objects, loss of fortune, fame, or friends; which, being separated from the fear and love of God, and faith in his providence and mercy, frequently drinks up their spirits, breaks their proud, rebellious hearts, or drives them to lay desperate hands on themselves.
 Repentance is the soul as born of God sitting in judgment of the old man and its acts, its words and its ways. And as repentance for remission of sins was to be preached in Christ's name, so He was exalted to give both. It is not a changed mind however great about God in Christ, which is rather what faith is and gives; it is the renewed mind taking account of the man and his course according to God's word and nature. Hence it is said to be not about God, but “toward God” or Godward; for the conscience then takes His side in self-judgment before Him, and all is weighed as in His sight. It is of course of the Spirit, not intellectual but moral. (Notes on 2 Corinthians 7:1-16 by W. Kelly)
 As an assembly, they “sorrowed to repentance” (vs. 10). This was a collective sorrow and a collective repentance. This shows that sorrow and repentance are two different things. Godly sorrow is grief over sin allowed or committed. Repentance is to have a changed mind about a course of sin that we have pursued and to pass judgment on it. (The Grounds on Which Paul Could Now Come to Them: 2 Corinthians 7:6-16 by B. Anstey)
 onfession is an act, but repentance is a process. This does not mean that we are to go around beating ourselves up in sorrow for the rest of our lives, because repentance and sorrow are two different things. What is to be on-going in our lives is a changed mind toward all sin that we once pursued. (The Grounds on Which Paul Could Now Come to Them: 2 Corinthians 7:6-16 by B. Anstey)
