2 Corinthians 4:3-6
English Standard Version
3 And even (A)if our gospel is veiled, (B)it is veiled to (C)those who are perishing. 4 In their case (D)the god of this world (E)has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing (F)the light of (G)the gospel of the glory of Christ, (H)who is the image of God. 5 For what (I)we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with (J)ourselves as your servants[a] for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, (K)“Let light shine out of darkness,” (L)has shone in our hearts to give (M)the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

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)

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
