4 among whom the god of this system of things*+ has blinded the minds of the unbelievers,+ so 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 disguising himself as 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 is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

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