2 Corinthians 4:3-4

3And even aif our gospel is veiled, bit is veiled to cthose who are perishing. 4In their case dthe god of this world ehas blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing fthe light of gthe gospel of the glory of Christ, hwho is the image of God.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-12

10and with all wicked deception for ithose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore jGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe kwhat is false, 12in order that all may be condemned lwho did not believe the truth but mhad pleasure in unrighteousness.
