2 Corinthians 4:3
_ _ But if — Yea, even if (as I grant is the case).
_ _ hid — rather (in reference to 2 Corinthians 3:13-18), “veiled.” “Hid” (Greek, Colossians 3:3) is said of that withdrawn from view altogether. “Veiled,” of a thing within reach of the eye, but covered over so as not to be seen. So it was in the case of Moses’ face.
_ _ to them — in the case only of them: for in itself the Gospel is quite plain.
_ _ that are lost — rather, “that are perishing” (1 Corinthians 1:18). So the same cloud that was “light” to the people of God, was “darkness” to the Egyptian foes of God (Exodus 14:20). |
2 Corinthians 4:3
But if our gospel also — As well as the law of Moses. |
2 Corinthians 4:3

(2) An objection: many hear the Gospel, and yet are no more enlightened by it than by the preaching of the Law. He answers, "The fault is in the men themselves, whose eyes Satan plucks out, who rules in this world." And yet nonetheless he and his associates set forth the most clear light of the Gospel to be seen and beheld, seeing that Christ only whom they preach, is he in whom God will be known, and as it were seen. |

2 Corinthians 2:15-16 For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: ... To the one [we are] the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who [is] sufficient for these things?
