← 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.
