And evenifour gospelis veiled,it is veiledto thosewho are perishing,
At that timeJesussaid,"I praiseYou, Father,Lordof heavenand earth,that You have hiddenthese thingsfrom [the] wiseand intelligentand have revealedthem to infants.
on the daywhen,accordingto my gospel,Godwill judgethe secretsof menthroughChristJesus.
For the wordof the crossis foolishnessto thosewho are perishing,but to us who are being savedit is the powerof God.
Yetwe do speakwisdomamongthosewho are mature;a wisdom,however,not of thisagenorof the rulersof thisage,who are passing away;
Nowwhen I cameto Troasfor the gospelof Christand when a doorwas openedfor me in the Lord,
But their mindswere hardened;for untilthis verydayat the readingof the oldcovenantthe sameveilremainsunlifted,becauseit is removedin Christ.
in whosecasethe godof thisworldhas blindedthe mindsof the unbelievingsothat they might not seethe lightof the gospelof the gloryof Christ,whois the imageof God.
for our gospeldid not cometo you in wordonly,but alsoin powerand in the HolySpiritand with fullconviction;justas you knowwhat kind of menwe provedto be amongyou for your sake.
accordingto the gloriousgospelof the blessedGod,with whichI have been entrusted.
