2 Corinthians 4:16-2 Corinthians 5:10 - Living By Faith
16 For which cause we are not fainthearted; but though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh out for us, in a higher and still higher degree, an everlasting weight of glory; 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are but for a time; but the things which are not seen are ever lasting.
1 For we know that, if our earthly tenthabitation be destroyed, we have a building provided by God, a house not made with hands, everlasting, in the heavens. 2 For while in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven; 3 since, indeed, when we have put off our present garment, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened; inasmuch as we do not desire to be unclothed, but to be clothed upon, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now he that hath prepared us for this very thing is God; who also gave to us the Spirit as the pledge.
6 We have courage, therefore, always, and know that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; 7 for we walk by faith, not by sight; but we have courage, 8 and are well pleased rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. 9 Wherefore we also strive that, whether at home or absent, we may be approved by him. 10 For we must all be made manifest before the judgmentseat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in his body, according to what he did, whether good or bad.
