2 Corinthians 4:16-182 Corinthians 4:16-18

2 Corinthians 4:16-1816 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though

outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.

17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far

outweighs them all.18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but

on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

2 Corinthians 5:1-82 Corinthians 5:1-82 Corinthians 5:1-81 Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we

have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.

2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling,

3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because

we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

5 Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.

7 We live by faith, not by sight.8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body

and at home with the Lord.

James 4:13-1713 Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will

go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money."

14 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

15 Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."

16 As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.17 Anyone, then, who knows the good he ought to do

and doesn't do it, sins.

Proverbs 16:33 Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

11 Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade men. What we

are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.

2 Corinthians 5:12-162 Corinthians 5:12-162 Corinthians 5:12-1612 We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again,

but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart.

13 If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.

14 For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.

15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.

16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

member belongs to all the others.6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a

man's gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.

7 If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach;8 if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is contributing to

the needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully.
