2 Corinthians 4:18
_ _ look not at — as our aim.
_ _ things ... seen — “earthly things” (Philippians 3:19). We mind not the things seen, whether affliction or refreshment come, so as to be seduced by the latter, or deterred by the former [Chrysostom].
_ _ things ... not seen — not “the invisible things” of Romans 1:20, but the things which, though not seen now, shall be so hereafter.
_ _ temporal — rather, “for a time”; in contrast to eternal. English Version uses “temporal” for temporary. The Greek is rightly translated in the similar passage, “the pleasures of sin for a season.” |
2 Corinthians 4:18
The things that are seen — Men, money, things of earth. The things that are not seen — God, grace, heaven. |
- we:
2 Corinthians 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
Romans 8:24-25 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? ... But if we hope for that we see not, [then] do we with patience wait for [it].
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:25-27 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ... By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.
Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of [our] faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. ... For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

- for:
Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
Leviticus 16:25-26 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. ... And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.
2 Thessalonians 2:16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
1 John 2:16-17 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. ... And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1 John 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, [even] eternal life.
