Paul frames the fourth chapter of 2 Corinthians with the repeated declaration that,
we do not lose heart.
2 Cor. 4:1, 16
And between these two claims he tries to explain why by drawing our attention to one of the central themes of the letter – the difference between the Seen and the Unseen. He highlights,
- How we see
And then, building on that,
- The danger of losing heart
- The secret of taking heart
