^4 (A)He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and ^(B)death shall be no more, ^(C)neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

¹⁶ So we do not lose heart. ^(A)Though our outer self^[a] is wasting away, ^(B)our inner self ^(C)is being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For ^(D)this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, ^18 (E)as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
