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.+

14 And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light.+

2 in which YOU at one time walked according to the system+ of things* of this world,* according to the ruler+ of the authority of the air, the spirit+ that now operates in the sons of disobedience.+

19 We know we originate with God,+ but the whole world is lying in the [power of the] wicked one.+
