2 Corinthians 4:16-5:3

English Standard Version

¹⁶ So we do not lose heart. ^(A)Though our outer self^[a] is wasting away, ^(B)our inner self ^(C)is being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For ^(D)this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, ^18 (E)as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Our Heavenly Dwelling

5 For we know that if ^(F)the tent that is ^(G)our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, ^(H)a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For in this tent ^(I)we groan, longing to ^(J)put on our heavenly dwelling, ³ if indeed by putting it on^[b] we may not be found naked.
