2 Corinthians 4:1-71 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have
renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor
handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth
commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world [Ed. note: the little "g" in the small lettered god refers to the devil.] hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.

In Christ, God has provided His perfect and only salvation. Without excuse, every person, either, deliberately chooses God's plan or we deliberately choose to be forever lost in our sin. Luke 16 and Romans 1 make that godly premise abundantly clear to all who want to know God's Truth.
