Summary of this study

In this passage, which contains many famous verses, Paul directs the glory to God. Next he describes his current trials as light affliction – how? Because this world was not his home. Neither is it our home, and he therefore teaches us all to see our earthly bodies for what they are – temporary dwellings. And given the temporary nature of our early lives, and that we have eternity to look forward to with Jesus, we should be living to please Him here now.
