Even though our outer self is continuing to decay, our inner self is being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ Our temporary light afflictions are preparing for us an incomparable weight of eternal glory, ¹⁸ for our eyes are fixed not on what is seen but rather on that which cannot be seen. What is visible is transitory; what is invisible is eternal.
