English Standard Version
2 Corinthians 4:15-18
English Standard Version
15 For (A)it is all for your sake, so that as (B)grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, (C)to the glory of God.
16 So we do not lose heart. (D)Though our outer self[a] is wasting away, (E)our inner self (F)is being renewed day by day. 17 For (G)this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 (H)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.

2 Corinthians 4:15-18
New International Version
15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving(A) to overflow to the glory of God.
16 Therefore we do not lose heart.(B) Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly(C) we are being renewed(D) day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.(E) 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,(F) since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
