2 Corinthians 4:17

Living By Faith

¹⁶ So I never give up; instead, although my outer nature is wasting away, my inner nature is constantly renewed from day to day. ¹⁷ For this slight and momentary sorrow continues to accumulate for me a solid and eternal glory far beyond any comparison, ¹⁸ because I do not keep my eyes on things that are seen but things that are unseen. For things that are seen are temporary, but things that are unseen are eternal.
