Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
Says: "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for as a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen "that is, our sufferings, "but at the things which are not seen "that is, our rewards: "for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal."
