| Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day. | That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. |
| For our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison. | For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! |
| 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 temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. | So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. |
