2 Corinthians 4:17


← 2 Corinthians 4:16 2 Corinthians 4:17 (KJV) 2 Corinthians 4:18 →
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
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.
