11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the

life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death

is working in us, but life in you. 13 And since we have the same spirit of

faith, according to what is written, "I believed and therefore I spoke,"

we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that He who raised up

the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with

you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread

through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is

perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. 17 For our

light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more

exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 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.
