“For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ — the creation narrative (Gen 1:3) is paralleled with spiritual illumination. God's word that spoke light into cosmological darkness now speaks light into human hearts. The final phrase echoes 3:18: Christ's face reveals God's glory.
