[ Our time in the flesh is almost nothing compared to life everlasting in paradise. ]

The NIV (I think) calls it “momentary light affliction”. I’ll have to look again.

I gotta admit, I’ve already been through affliction that doesn’t seem momentary nor light.

But compared to the martyrs of the Middle East, China, etc. yeah it’s “light affliction” indeed I must admit. Yikes.
