John 11:35 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affl iction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 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. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18
