The Gospel Exalted

1 Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, ^[a](A)called as an apostle, ^(B)set apart for ^(C)the gospel of God,

³ And even if our ^(A)gospel is ^(B)veiled, it is veiled ^[a]to ^(C)those who are perishing,

⁴ in whose case ^(A)the god of ^(B)this ^[a]world has ^(C)blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that ^[b]they will not see the ^(D)light of the gospel of the ^(E)glory of Christ, who is the ^(F)image of God.

¹⁸ We have sent along with him ^(A)the brother whose fame in the things of the ^(B)gospel has spread through ^(C)all the churches;

¹³ Because of the proof given by this ^(A)ministry, they will ^(B)glorify God for your obedience to your ^(C)confession of the ^(D)gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your ^[a]contribution to them and to all,
