I've seen a number of examples of the plural 's.  Disturbingly, I've seen it more than a few times on articles published online.  There's some poor editorial work going on somewhere.  Whenever I see one of these I feel embarrassed for whoever was responsible.  It makes them look not entirely literate.
For our light affliction, which is only for a moment, works for us a far greater and eternal weight of glory.  We look not at the things we can see, but at those we can't.  For the things we can see are temporary, but those we can't see are eternal.
