1599 Geneva Bible
17 For our [a]light affliction which is but for a moment, causeth unto us a far most excellent and an eternal weight of [b]glory:
18 While we look not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen for the things which are seen, are temporal: but the things which are not seen, are eternal.

- 2 Corinthians 4:17 Afflictions are not called light, as though they were light of themselves, but because they pass away quickly, when as indeed our whole life is of no long continuance.
- 2 Corinthians 4:17 Which remaineth forever firm and stable, and can never be shaken.
