2 Corinthians 4:17

Living By Faith

¹⁶ Hence I never lose heart; though my outward man decays, my inner man is renewed day after day. ¹⁷ The slight trouble of the passing hour results in a solid glory past all comparison, ¹⁸ for those of us whose eyes are on the unseen, not on the seen; for the seen is transient, the unseen eternal.
