This is today’s verse. Open Today for your week and today’s quiz.
So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light, momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 because we do not look at the things that are seen but at the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Read it in context2 Corinthians 4:13–18
13 Since we have the same spirit of faith that is expressed in what is written, “I believed, therefore I spoke,” we also believe, and therefore we also speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and bring us together with you into his presence. 15 For all this is for your sake, so that as grace reaches more and more people it may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. 16 So we do not lose heart. Even though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light, momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, 18 because we do not look at the things that are seen but at the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are temporary, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
