Sorry Rules

Don’t say “I’m sorry” if you don’t believe you’ve done anything wrong.

Don’t say “I’m sorry” if you think you can justify what you have done.

Don’t say “I’m sorry” if you regret the consequences, but not the action.

Don’t say “I’m sorry” unless you fully intend never to do it again.

I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
—2 Corinthians 7:9–10
