2 Corinthians 4:16 — Community Reflections

2 CORINTHIANS 4:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.”

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day — the anthropological dualism distinguishes the external (exō) body, subject to decay, from the internal (esō) person, being renovated (anakainoō). Daily renewal (kath' hēmeran) marks gradual metamorphosis even as flesh corrupts. This is the Christian paradox: physical dissolution concurrent with spiritual transformation.
