4:18 because we are not looking at what can be seen but at what cannot be seen. For what can be seen is temporary, but what cannot be seen is eternal.

2 Korintus 5:12

5:12 We are not trying to commend ⁸  ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, ⁹  so that you may be able to answer those who take pride ¹⁰  in outward appearance ¹¹  and not in what is in the heart.

2 Korintus 5:15-16

5:15 And he died for all so that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised. ¹²  5:16 So then from now on we acknowledge ¹³  no one from an outward human point of view. ¹⁴  Even though we have known Christ from such a human point of view, ¹⁵  now we do not know him in that way any longer.

2 Korintus 8:10

8:10 So here is my opinion on this matter: It is to your advantage, since you ¹⁶  made a good start last year both in your giving and your desire to give,

2 Korintus 13:3

13:3 since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He ²¹  is not weak toward you but is powerful among you.
