2 Corinthians 4:2-6
English Standard Version
2 But we have renounced (A)disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice[a] cunning or (B)to tamper with God's word, but (C)by the open statement of the truth (D)we would commend ourselves to everyone's conscience in the sight of God. 3 And even (E)if our gospel is veiled, (F)it is veiled to (G)those who are perishing. 4 In their case (H)the god of this world (I)has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing (J)the light of (K)the gospel of the glory of Christ, (L)who is the image of God. 5 For what (M)we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with (N)ourselves as your servants[b] for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who said, (O)“Let light shine out of darkness,” (P)has shone in our hearts to give (Q)the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

14 But (A)their minds were (B)hardened. For to this day, (C)when they read (D)the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15 Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16 But when (E)one[a] turns to the Lord, (F)the veil is removed. 17 Now the Lord[b] is the Spirit, and where (G)the Spirit of the Lord is, there is (H)freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, (I)beholding (J)the glory of the Lord,[c] (K)are being transformed into the same image (L)from one degree of glory to another.[d] For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

14 Indeed, in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled that says:
(A)“‘“You will indeed hear but never understand,

and (C)their eyes they have closed,
lest they should see with their eyes
and hear with their ears
and (D)understand with their heart
and (E)turn, and I would heal them.’
16 But (F)blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.
