Present Suffering and Future Glory
18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.(A)
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
New Living Translation
2 Corinthians 4:17-18
New Living Translation
17 For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! 18 So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.

17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.(A) 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,(B) since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

New Living Translation
1 Peter 1:5-7
New Living Translation
5 And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.
6 So be truly glad.[a] There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. 7 These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-12
New Living Translation
7 And God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted and also for us when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come with his mighty angels, 8 in flaming fire, bringing judgment on those who don’t know God and on those who refuse to obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will be punished with eternal destruction, forever separated from the Lord and from his glorious power. 10 When he comes on that day, he will receive glory from his holy people—praise from all who believe. And this includes you, for you believed what we told you about him.
11 So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. 12 Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.[a]

This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven(A) in blazing fire(B) with his powerful angels.(C) 8 He will punish(D) those who do not know God(E) and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.(F) 9 They will be punished with everlasting destruction(G) and shut out from the presence of the Lord(H) and from the glory of his might(I) 10 on the day(J) he comes to be glorified(K) in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed. This includes you, because you believed our testimony to you.(L)
11 With this in mind, we constantly pray for you,(M) that our God may make you worthy(N) of his calling,(O) and that by his power he may bring to fruition your every desire for goodness(P) and your every deed prompted by faith.(Q) 12 We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you,(R) and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.[a]
