2 Corinthians 4:17 in Context — 2 Corinthians 4
15 Porque todas [estas cosas padecemos] por vosotros, para que abundando la gracia por muchos, en el hacimiento de gracias sobreabunde á gloria de Dios.
16 Por tanto, no desmayamos: antes aunque este nuestro hombre exterior se va desgastando, el interior empero se renueva de día en día.
17 Porque lo que al presente es momentáneo y leve de nuestra tribulación, nos obra un sobremanera alto [y] eterno peso de gloria;
18 No mirando nosotros á las cosas que se ven, sino á las que no se ven: porque las cosas que se ven son temporales, mas las que no se ven son eternas.
