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)

²⁴ For in this hope we were saved.^(A) But hope that is seen is no hope at all.^(B) Who hopes for what they already have?

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,^(A) since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
