2 Corinthians 4:3-6
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)

2 Corinthians 4:11-15
New International Version
11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake,(A) so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.(B)
13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.”[a](C) Since we have that same spirit of[b] faith,(D) we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead(E) will also raise us with Jesus(F) and present us with you to himself.(G) 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving(H) to overflow to the glory of God.
