Spiritual blindness

Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. 1

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. 2 The word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing. 3

Whoever does evil has not seen God. 4 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness; they do not know over what they stumble. 5 Whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 6

The LORD opens the eyes of the blind. 7 The LORD has made his light to shine upon us. 8 And we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 9

The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 10

The Lord said, “I am sending you to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.” 11
