2 Corinthians 4 — Context

For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

But if our good news is veiled, it is veiled from those who are on the way to destruction:

Because the god of this world has made blind the minds of those who have not faith, so that the light of the good news of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, might not be shining on them.
