The F.O.G
[11] Look at the beautiful fruit that grew from your godly sorrow: What passionate determination to clear yourselves! What holy indignation against sin! What reverent fear of God's holiness! What longing for restoration! What fervent zeal to honor the Messiah! What readiness to see justice done! At every point, you've proven yourselves innocent in this matter.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for, lo, this same thing—your being made sorry toward God—how much diligence it doth work in you! but defence, but displeasure, but fear, but longing desire, but zeal, but revenge; in every thing ye did approve yourselves to be pure in the matter.
