New King James Version
Seeing the Invisible
16 Therefore we (A)do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is (B)being renewed day by day. 17 For (C)our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, 18 (D)while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Assurance of the Resurrection
5 For we know that if (E)our earthly [a]house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house (F)not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this (G)we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our [b]habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, (H)having been clothed, we shall not be found naked. 4 For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, (I)but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who also (J)has given us the Spirit as [c]a guarantee.
6 So we are always confident, knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. 7 For (K)we walk by faith, not by sight.

New International Version
2 Corinthians 4:16-5:7
New International Version
16 Therefore we do not lose heart.(A) Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly(B) we are being renewed(C) day by day. 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.(D) 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,(E) since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Awaiting the New Body
5 For we know that if the earthly(F) tent(G) 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,(H) longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,(I) 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked. 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan(J) and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,(K) so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. 5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.(L)
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 For we live by faith, not by sight.(M)

Jonah 2:4-10
New King James Version
4 (A)Then I said, ‘I have been cast out of Your sight;
Yet I will look again (B)toward Your holy temple.’
5 The (C)waters surrounded me, even to my soul;
The deep closed around me;
Weeds were wrapped around my head.
6 I went down to the [a]moorings of the mountains;
The earth with its bars closed behind me forever;
Yet You have brought up my (D)life from the pit,
O Lord, my God.
7 “When my soul fainted within me,
I remembered the Lord;
(E)And my prayer went up to You,
Into Your holy temple.
8 “Those who regard (F)worthless idols
Forsake their own [b]Mercy.
9 But I will (G)sacrifice to You
With the voice of thanksgiving;
I will pay what I have (H)vowed.
(I)Salvation is of the (J)Lord.”
10 So the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

4 I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;(A)
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’(B)
5 The engulfing waters threatened me,[a]
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.(C)
6 To the roots of the mountains(D) I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
brought my life up from the pit.(E)
7 “When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered(F) you, Lord,
and my prayer(G) rose to you,
to your holy temple.(H)
8 “Those who cling to worthless idols(I)
turn away from God’s love for them.
9 But I, with shouts of grateful praise,(J)
will sacrifice(K) to you.
What I have vowed(L) I will make good.
I will say, ‘Salvation(M) comes from the Lord.’”
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.

BOOK TWO
Psalms 42–72
Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
To the Chief Musician. A [a]Contemplation of the sons of Korah.
42 As the deer [b]pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 (A)My soul thirsts for God, for the (B)living God.
When shall I come and [c]appear before God?
3 (C)My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
(D)“Where is your God?”
4 When I remember these things,
(E)I pour out my soul within me.
For I used to go with the multitude;
(F)I went with them to the house of God,
With the voice of joy and praise,
With a multitude that kept a pilgrim feast.
5 (G)Why are you [d]cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
(H)Hope in God, for I shall yet praise Him
[e]For the help of His countenance.
6 [f]O my God, my soul is cast down within me;
Therefore I will remember You from the land of the Jordan,
And from the heights of Hermon,
From [g]the Hill Mizar.
7 Deep calls unto deep at the noise of Your waterfalls;
(I)All Your waves and billows have gone over me.
8 The Lord will (J)command His lovingkindness in the daytime,
And (K)in the night His song shall be with me—
A prayer to the God of my life.
9 I will say to God my Rock,
(L)“Why have You forgotten me?
Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”
10 As with a [h]breaking of my bones,
My enemies [i]reproach me,
(M)While they say to me all day long,
“Where is your God?”
11 (N)Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God;
For I shall yet praise Him,
The [j]help of my countenance and my God.

1 As the deer(A) pants for streams of water,(B)
so my soul pants(C) for you, my God.
2 My soul thirsts(D) for God, for the living God.(E)
When can I go(F) and meet with God?

The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men (A)always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor [a]regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, [b]‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 (B)yet because this widow troubles me I will [c]avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ”
6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And (C)shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you (D)that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”

The Parable of the Persistent Widow
18 Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.(A) 2 He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. 3 And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice(B) against my adversary.’
4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”(C)
6 And the Lord(D) said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out(E) to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man(F) comes,(G) will he find faith on the earth?”
