Light will shine out of darkness
Paul refers to God creating light, as described in Genesis 1:3.
He has shone ... to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
Just as God created light, he also creates understanding for believers. Alternate translation: "He has shone ... to enable us to understand the glory of God"
in our hearts
"in our minds"
the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the presence
"the light, which is the knowledge of the glory of God, in the presence"
the glory of God in the presence of Jesus Christ
"the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ." Just as God's glory shone upon Moses's face, it also shines upon Jesus's face. This means that when Paul preaches the gospel, people are able to see and understand the message about God's glory.
