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 King James Version
3 But even if our gospel is veiled, (A)it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds (B)the god of this age (C)has blinded, who do not believe, lest (D)the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, (E)who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 (F)For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and (G)ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God (H)who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has (I)shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
