Ephesians 5:12
In secret (krufh). Old adverb, only here in N.T. Sin loves the dark.
Even to speak of (kai legein). And yet one must sometimes speak out, turn on the light, even if to do so is disgraceful (aisxron, like I Corinthians 11:6).
10 afinding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
11 And have ano fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather1 expose them.
12 aFor it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
13 But aall things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
