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 2:9-12

9The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan iwith all power and false signs and wonders, 10and with all wicked deception for jthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11Therefore kGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe lwhat is false, 12in order that all may be condemned mwho did not believe the truth but nhad pleasure in unrighteousness.
