| Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. | So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed day by day. |
| For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. | For this slight momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all measure. |
|
| So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. | Because we look not at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen; for what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal. |
