Does the verse: (And the good things for the good men and the good men for the good women. Those are absolved of what they say. For them is forgiveness and a generous provision) include those among people who have repented?

One who repents sincerely from adultery falls under the general meaning of the verse: "Corrupt women are for corrupt men, and corrupt men are for corrupt women. Good women are for good men, and good men are for good women." Sound repentance erases what came before it, and one who repents from a sin is like one who has committed no sin.
