2 Corinthians 4:18

18 [because] we are not looking at what is seen, but what is not seen. For what is seen [is] temporary, but what is not seen [is] eternal.

2 Corinthians 4:18 In-Context

16 Therefore we do not lose heart, but even if our outer person is being destroyed, yet our inner [person] is being renewed day after day.
17 For our momentary light affliction is producing in us an eternal weight of glory {beyond all measure and proportion},
18 [because] we are not looking at what is seen, but what is not seen. For what is seen [is] temporary, but what is not seen [is] eternal.
