2 Corinthians · 1

  1. 2 Corinthians 7:11 ἀγανάκτησιν, indignation,

    Consider what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what zeal, what vindication! In every way you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.

    Here: Moral outrage — most likely at the offence and offender, and perhaps at themselves for having tolerated it.
