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. Even though our outer self is continuing to decay, 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	Our temporary light afflictions are preparing for us an incomparable weight of eternal glory. 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	For our eyes are fixed not on what is seen but rather on that which cannot be seen. What is visible is transitory; what is invisible is eternal. eternal life materialism understanding
