But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

Can the gospel be hidden? Yes, the gospel is hidden from the spiritually blinded person.

 Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining. He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

What is the new commandment? Love your brother.

What is pleasing to God? After believing in Christ, we live holy lives, prepared for battle.
