2 Corinthians 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal… Let us consider the advantage of a steady contemplation of things unseen and eternal. I. It brings REPOSE to the spirit amidst the ceaseless changes of life. II. The presence of the unseen and eternal gives ASSURANCE of the final triumph of truth and rectitude. III. The sense of things eternal gives ENDURANCE to bear the pains of present discipline. IV. The contemplation of eternal realities PLACES THIS LIFE BEFORE US DISTINCTLY AS THE SPHERE OF DUTY AND OF TOIL. (B. M. Palmer, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. |
