People's Commentary (NT)
2 Corinthians 4:18
While we look not at things which are seen, but at the things which
are not seen. Our eyes are fixed on the unseen things beyond, the
glory that the flesh cannot behold. Hence, we turn away from present
afflictions as momentary, as belonging to the seen and the transient,
and only regard them as adding to the weight of our unseen, eternal
joys. Our goal is beyond.
For the things which are seen [are] temporal. All material things,
and all that the world values, are perishing. All things of sense shall
pass away; Caesar's greatness, the might of Roman power, the strength
of man, the glory of the magnificence of Corinth; even the visible
heavens and the earth.
But the things which are not seen [are] eternal. The things which
the sense see not, but which faith reveals--God, heaven, the unseen
spirit. Let the eye be turned upon the unseen, rather than the things
of sense.
