2 Corinthians 4:18
| ← 2 Corinthians 4:17 | 2 Corinthians 4:18 (KJV) | 2 Corinthians 5:1 → |
|---|---|---|
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.
|
For we know that if our earthly house of [this] tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
