That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 2 Corinthians 4:16	So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. beauty encouragement receiving
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! 2 Corinthians 4:17	For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison. eternal life suffering encouragement

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. 2 Corinthians 4:18	As we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. eternal life materialism understanding
