2 Corinthians 4:18

2 Corinthians 4:18

Seeing the Invisible

16 Therefore we ^ado not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is ^bbeing renewed day by day.

17 For ^aour light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,

18 ^awhile we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
