We Do Not Look At the Things Which Are Seen (St. Paul) No. 1a | Orthodox Christian Hoodie / Hooded SweatshirtEven though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. Second Epistle of the Holy Apostle Paul to the Corinthians, 4:

in proportion to your consolation

the first and the last

The field is the world

we will encounter all these truths

And the sacraments of the Orthodox Church prepare us to see Christ in every person we help: in other words

such great beauty

according to Orthodox Tradition

and hast revealed them unto babes: even so

- Matthew 24:9-25

hence the different cropping of the sides

I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass
