About this Chapter

In this chapter, Paul talks about how even though we may face afflictions and troubles in this world, we should not lose heart. He encourages us to focus on the eternal glory that awaits us, which far outweighs any temporary suffering we may experience. Paul reminds us that our bodies may be weak and perishable, but our inner selves are being renewed day by day through the power of the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes that our present sufferings are temporary and light compared to the eternal weight of glory that God has prepared for us. Paul concludes by urging us to fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. He encourages us to persevere in faith, knowing that our present afflictions are preparing for us an eternal glory beyond comparison.
