2 CORINTHIANS 4:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;”
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all — the revaluation is dramatic: present affliction (thlipseis) is characterized as 'light' (elaphr) and 'momentary' (parautika) compared to eternal, weighty (hyperbole) glory (doxa). Suffering is not denied but scaled against eschatological weight.
