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.
2 Corinthians 4: 16-18 (KJV)
Therefore we do not become discouraged (utterly spiritless, exhausted, and wearied out through fear). Though our outer man is [progressively] decaying and wasting away, yet our inner self is being [progressively] renewed day after day. For our light, momentary affliction (this slight distress of the passing hour) is ever more and more abundantly preparing and producing and achieving for us an everlasting weight of glory [beyond all measure, excessively surpassing all comparisons and all calculations, a vast and transcendent glory and blessedness never to cease!] Since we consider and look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are visible are temporal (brief and fleeting), but the things that are invisible are deathless and everlasting.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 (Amplified)
Precious Heavenly Father and
beloved, Holy, Savior and
faithful friend of all friends
set our Christ given faith
and love ablaze through
your word, prayer, and
through the power of your
precious Holy Spirit within.
May our passion be all that
is Holy, Heavenly, divine,
and eternal. To thee we
look with expectant and
exuberant faith. For you
are our Emmanuel and the
the author of the impossible
and miraculous. Set our
Christ given faith and love
ablaze through your word,
prayer, and through the
power of your precious
Holy, glorious Spirit within.
For this we humbly pray.
Amen, amen, and amen!
