2 Corinthians 4:16 in Context — 2 Corinthians 4

14 sachant que celui qui a ressuscité le Seigneur Jésus nous ressuscitera aussi avec Jésus, et nous fera paraître avec vous en sa présence.

15 Car tout cela arrive à cause de vous, afin que la grâce en se multipliant, fasse abonder, à la gloire de Dieu, les actions de grâces d’un plus grand nombre.

16 C’est pourquoi nous ne perdons pas courage. Et lors même que notre homme extérieur se détruit, notre homme intérieur se renouvelle de jour en jour.

17 Car nos légères afflictions du moment présent produisent pour nous, au-delà de toute mesure, un poids éternel de gloire,

18 parce que nous regardons, non point aux choses visibles, mais à celles qui sont invisibles; car les choses visibles sont passagères, et les invisibles sont éternelles.
