The Gospel of the Glory of Christ

2Co 4:3-4 LSB – [3] And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, [4] in whose case the god of this age has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

2Co 4:6 LSB – [6] For God, who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.

2Co 5:4-5 LSB – [4] For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life. [5] Now He who prepared us for this very purpose is God, who gave to us the Spirit as a pledge.

2Co 5:14-15 LSB – [14] For the love of Christ controls us, having concluded this, that one died for all, therefore all died. [15] And He died for all, so that they who live would no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.

2Co 5:17 LSB – [17] Therefore if anyone is in Christ, [he is] a new creation; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

2Co 5:18-19 LSB – [18] Now all [these] things are from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation, [19] namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their transgressions against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

2Co 5:21 LSB – [21] He made Him who knew no sin [to be] sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
