16 For this reason, as I have said, I do not lose courage, but even though my outward man is wasting away, my inward man is being renewed, day by day.
17 For my light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working out for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory,
18 while I am gazing not at things seen, but at things unseen; for things seen are temporal, but things unseen are eternal.
