| General Epistles |
| The seven letters - James; 1 and 2 Peter; 1, 2, and 3 John; and Jude - have been known since the fourth century, as the Catholic or General Epistles.The designation refers to the fact, unlike the Pauline Epistles, they are not addressed to particular churches or to individuals but rather to a wider circle and even to the Church as a whole. The earliest designation of these letters was the word "catholic" used in the sense of "universal"; "general" is a more recent term of this group of Epistles. |

| Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. 17.For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. 18.So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
