Discovery Box2 Corinthians 4:2-4 
Context4:2 But we have rejected 1 shameful hidden deeds, 2 not behaving 3 with deceptiveness 4 or distorting the word of God, but by open proclamation of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience before God. 4:3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled only to those who are perishing, 4:4 among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who do not believe 5 so they would not see the light of the glorious gospel 6 of Christ, 7 who is the image of God.
