2 Corinthians 4:4-6

4In their case athe god of this world bhas blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing cthe light of dthe gospel of the glory of Christ, ewho is the image of God. 5For what fwe proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with gourselves as your servants

vBehold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
a cornerstone chosen and precious,

has become the cornerstone,”
