2 Corinthians / Question
Question source
2 Corinthians
Paul contrasts "this light momentary affliction" with an "eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison." He says the focus is on what is unseen and eternal rather than what is seen and temporary. See 2 Corinthians 4:17–18.
17For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory;
18while we don`t look 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.
