through glory and dishonor, through slander and praise; regarded as impostors, and yet true;

For indeed, what had been glorious now has no glory because of the tremendously greater glory of what replaced it.

among whom the god of this age has blinded the minds of those who do not believe so they would not see the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God.

For God, who said “Let light shine out of darkness,” is the one who shined in our hearts to give us the light of the glorious knowledge of God in the face of Christ.
