2 Corinthians 4:13-5:1

New King James Version

¹³ And since we have ^(A)the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, ^(B)“I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, ¹⁴ knowing that ^(C)He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. ¹⁵ For ^(D)all things are for your sakes, that ^(E)grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

Seeing the Invisible

¹⁶ Therefore we ^(F)do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is ^(G)being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For ^(H)our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, ^18 (I)while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Assurance of the Resurrection

5 For we know that if ^(J)our earthly ^[a]house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house ^(K)not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
