2 Corinthians 4:3-6
New American Standard Bible
3 And even if our (A)gospel is (B)veiled, it is veiled [a]to (C)those who are perishing, 4 in whose case (D)the god of (E)this [b]world has (F)blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that [c]they will not see the (G)light of the gospel of the (H)glory of Christ, who is the (I)image of God. 5 For we (J)do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants [d]on account of Jesus. 6 For God, who said, “(K)Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has (L)shone in our hearts to give the (M)Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

New International Version
3 And even if our gospel(A) is veiled,(B) it is veiled to those who are perishing.(C) 4 The god(D) of this age(E) has blinded(F) the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ,(G) who is the image of God.(H) 5 For what we preach is not ourselves,(I) but Jesus Christ as Lord,(J) and ourselves as your servants(K) for Jesus’ sake. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,”[a](L) made his light shine in our hearts(M) to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.(N)
