4:13 Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak, 4:14 knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. 4:15 For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God. 4:16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer nature is wasting away, our inner nature is being renewed every day. 4:17 For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 4:18 because 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.
