Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. 1所以弟兄們，我以神的慈悲勸你們，將身體獻上，當作活祭，是聖潔的，是神所喜悅的‧你們如此事奉，乃是理所當然的‧2不要效法這個世界‧只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良，純全可喜悅的旨意‧

E. We see the truly important things in life. 我們看清生命中真正重要的事. (林後 2 Cor 4:7-9, 16-18) 林後 2 Corinthians 4:16–18 (NIV) 16 Therefore we do not lose heart.

For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 16所以我們不喪膽‧外體雖然毀壞，內心卻一天新似一天‧17我們這至暫至輕的苦楚，要為我們成就極重無比永遠的榮耀‧18原來我們不是顧念所見的，乃是顧念所不見的‧因為所見的是暫時的，所不見的是永遠的‧
