How to learn a verseDarby Bible
Five steps, one a day, a few minutes each. Here they are on one verse from this set:
2 Corinthians 4:16-18 Wherefore we faint not; but if indeed our outward man is consumed, yet the inward is renewed day by day. For our momentary [and] light affliction works for us in surpassing measure an eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things that are seen, but at the things that are not seen; for the things that are seen [are] for a time, but those that are not seen eternal.
