It is written: “I believed; therefore I have
spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we
also believe and therefore speak, because we know that the one
who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will
also raise us with Jesus and
present us with you to himself. All this is
for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may
cause thanksgiving to
overflow to the glory of God.
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
