2 Corinthians 4:2-4

Expanded Bible

² But we have ·turned away from [rejected; renounced] ·secret [underhanded] and shameful ways. We ·use no trickery [^Ldo not walk in deception], and we do not ·change [distort] the ·teaching [word] of God. We ·teach the truth plainly [fully/openly disclose the truth], ·showing everyone who we are so that they can know in their hearts what kind of people we are [^Lcommending ourselves to every person’s conscience] in God’s sight. ³ If the ·Good News [Gospel] that we preach is ·hidden [veiled], it is ·hidden [veiled] only to those who are ·lost [perishing]. ⁴ The ·devil who rules this world [^Lgod of this age] has blinded the minds of ·those who do not believe [unbelievers]. [^L…so that] They cannot see the light of the Good News—the Good News ·about [that reveals] the glory of Christ, who is ·exactly like [^Lthe image of] God.
