2 Corinthians 4:16

Read in context

2 Corinthians 4:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 knowing that the One who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence.

15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is extending to more and more people may overflow in thanksgiving, to the glory of God.

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day.

17 For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that is far beyond comparison.

18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
