Verse 10 shows the difference between godly sadness and worldly sadness. Godly sadness is shown by a person recognizing that his or her sin was against God himself and truly grasping the effects of that sin, repenting, and striving to not commit that sin again. Worldly sadness is shown when one is just embarrassed or sad over the bad consequences that they have to face. He or she does not fully grasp the depth of their sin and deep down they do not want to put forth the effort to turn away from the things that led up to that sin.
