But even if our Gospel (the glad tidings) also be hidden (obscured and covered up with a veil that hinders the knowledge of the Almighty), it is hidden [only] to those who are perishing and obscured [only] to those who are spiritually dying and veiled [only] to those who are lost.
For the god of this world has blinded the unbelievers’ minds [that they should not discern the truth], preventing them from seeing the illuminating light of the Gospel of the glory of the Messiah, Who is the Image and Likeness of the Almighty.
