For which cause we faint not: but though our outward man is corrupted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17For that which is at present momentary and light of our tribulation worketh for us above measure, exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. 18While 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. 1For we know, if our earthly house of this habitation be dissolved, that we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in heaven. 2For in this also we groan, desiring to be clothed upon with our habitation that is from heaven. 3Yet so that we be found clothed, not naked. 4For we also, who are in this tabernacle, do groan, being burthened; because we would not be unclothed, but clothed upon, that that which is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5Now he that maketh us for this very thing is God, who hath given us the pledge of the Spirit, 6Therefore having always confidence, knowing that while we are in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7(For we walk by faith and not by sight.) 8But we are confident and have a good will to be absent rather from the body and to be present with the Lord. 9And therefore we labour, whether absent or present, to please him. 10For we must all be manifested before the judgment seat of Christ, that every one may receive the proper things of the body, according as he hath done, whether it be good or evil.
