Satan spiritually veils, or blinds, the entire world.  An unveiling of the Word of God is given to those God calls and who respond with repentance and baptism.  We can measure ourselves against four things that are presented which provide evidence of a life being transformed by Christ after the veil is taken away.  These are: renounce the hidden things of shame, walk not in craftiness, do not deceitfully handle the Word of God,  and preach Christ, not ourselves or man.
