2 Corinthians 4:17

Living By Faith

¹⁶ Therefore we are not discouraged, but even if the outer man of us is perishing, yet the inner man is renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our slight momentary affliction works for us an eternal weight of glory from extraordinariness to extraordinariness, ¹⁸ while we look not at things seen, but at things not seen. For things seen are temporal, but things not seen are eternal.
