That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying… 2 Corinthians 4:16

That is why we never give up. Though our bodies are dying, our spirits are being renewed every day. 2 Corinthians 4:16	Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person 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 our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far 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	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. eternal life materialism understanding
