15. For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace may, through the thanksgiving of many, redound to the glory of God.
16. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man is wasted, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
17. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh out for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
18. While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
