32 a light+ for removing the veil+ from the nations*+ and a glory of your people Israel.”

30 True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance,+ yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent.+

13 and not doing as when Moses would put a veil+ upon his face, that the sons of Israel might not gaze intently at the end+ of that which was to be done away with.

4 among whom the god* of this system of things*+ has blinded the minds* of the unbelievers,+ that the illumination*+ of the glorious good news+ about the Christ,* who is the image+ of God, might not shine through.+

8 for YOU were once darkness,+ but YOU are now light+ in connection with [the] Lord. Go on walking as children of light,
