Proclaiming Jesus Christ As Lord

3 If the meaning of my preaching of the good news is veiled at all, it is so only in the case of those who are on the way to destruction. 4 In their case, the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep the light of the good news of the glorious Christ, the likeness of God, from dawning upon them. 5 For it is not myself but Christ Jesus that I am proclaiming as Lord; I am only a slave of yours for Jesus' sake.
