2 Corinthians 4:6

Compare all

4 whose minds ^athe god of this age ^bhas blinded, who do not believe, lest ^cthe light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, ^dwho is the image of God, should shine on them.

5 ^aFor we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ^bourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

6 For it is the God ^awho commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has ^bshone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Cast Down but Unconquered

7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, ^athat the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.

8 We are ^ahard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;

9 persecuted, but not ^aforsaken; ^bstruck down, but not destroyed—

2 Corinthians 4:6

For God hath shined in our hearts - The hearts of all those whom the god of this world no longer blinds. God who is himself our light; not only the author of light, but also the fountain of it. To enlighten us with the knowledge of the glory of God - Of his glorious love, and of his glorious image. In the face of Jesus Christ - Which reflects his glory in another manner than the face of Moses did.
