{Blinded} (etuphl(9373)en). First aorist active indicative of
	uphlo(935c), the very verb and form used in  2Co 4:4  of the god of
this age to keep men from beholding the illumination of the
gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God. The first
part of the verse repeats verse  9 , but adds this vivid touch of
the blinding power of darkness. In the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky
