2 Corinthians 4:3-5

3And even if our 1gospel is 2veiled, it is veiled 3to 4those who are perishing,

4in whose case 5the god of 6this 7world has 8blinded the minds of the unbelieving 9so that they might not see the 10light of the gospel of the 11glory of Christ, who is the 12image of God.

5For we 13do not preach ourselves but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants 14for Jesus’ sake.
