15 Porque todas estas coisas são por causa de vós, para que a graça aumente por meio de muitas [pessoas] ,superabundando os agradecimentos à glória de Deus.

16 Por isso não desfalecemos; mas ainda que nosso ser exterior se destrua, todavia o interior se renova a cada dia.

17 Porque nossa leve e momentânea aflição nos produz um peso eterno de excelentíssima glória.

18 Por isso nós não prestamos atenção para as coisas visíveis, mas sim para as invisíveis; porque as coisas visíveis são temporárias, mas as invisíveis são eternas.
