18 while we (A)look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

The Temporal and Eternal

For we know that if our [a](B)earthly (C)tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house (D)not made by hands, eternal in the heavens.

  1. 2 Corinthians 5:1 Lit earthly house of the tent

18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,(A) since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Awaiting the New Body

For we know that if the earthly(B) tent(C) we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
