Paul urged the Corinthians to look forward to their eternal home in heaven, a perspective that would enable them to endure hardships and disappointments in this life. “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.
Paulo aliwahimiza Wakorintho kulenga mbele katika makao yao ya milele mbinguni, mtazamo ambao atawawezesha kuvumilia matatizo na kukatishwa tamaa katika maisha haya. "Maana dhiki yetu nyepesi, iliyo ya muda wa kitambo tu, yatuafanyia utukufu wa milele izidio kuwa mwingi sana; tusiviangalie vinavyoonekana, bali visivyoonekana.
