We Do Not Look At the Things Which Are Seen (St. Paul) No. 1 | Orthodox Christian Art PosterEven 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:

and irradiated with pure and primal splendours

Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee

Deacon: For the peace of the whole world

through divine grace that has the power to give birth

and all the world is abandoning me as a castaway and turning its face from me

when thou art brought to judgment

He who was with you beyond the Jordan

and the eyes of my soul

in the preaching of the Apostles

- Stichera for the Dead

Rescue the weak and the needy

our Lord Jesus Christ
