    12As a result, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.

    13But since we have the same spirit of faith as that shown in what has been written,“I believed; therefore I spoke,” we also believe, therefore we also speak.

    14We do so because we know that the one who raised up Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus and will bring us with you into his presence.

    15For all these things are for your sake, so that the grace that is including more and more people may cause thanksgiving to increase to the glory of God.

    16Therefore we do not despair, but even if our physical body is wearing away, our inner person is being renewed day by day.

    17For our momentary, light suffering is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison

    18because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.
