Though our ·physical body [^Louter person] is ·becoming older and weaker [decaying; being destroyed], our ·spirit inside us [^Linner (person)] is ·made new [being renewed] every day. ¹⁷ ·We have small troubles for a while now, but they [^LFor our brief and insignificant trials/tribulations] are ·helping us gain [or producing in us] an eternal ·glory [^Lburden/weight of glory] that ·is much greater than [overwhelmingly exceeds] the troubles.
