But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.
But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light [of God’s precepts], for it is light that makes everything visible.
But when anything is exposed and reproved by the light, it is made visible and clear; and where everything is visible and clear there is light.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
Everything exposed by the light is made visible,
Everything exposed by the light is made visible,
But everything exposed to the light is revealed by the light.
But everything exposed to the light is revealed clearly for what it is,
But the light will show what these things are really like.
But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.
but all things being exposed by the light become-visible.
But all things that are reproved, are made manifest by the light; for all that is made manifest is light.
But the light makes clear how wrong those things are.
But when God's light shines on something, people can see clearly its true nature.
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes things visible.
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,
But the light makes all things ·easy to see [visible; exposed],
But all things when they are reproved of the light, are manifest: for it is light that maketh all things manifest.
Light exposes the true character of everything
And when all things are brought out to the light, then their true nature is clearly revealed;
Everything exposed by the light is made clear,
But the light makes all things easy to see.
But everything that is exposed to the light becomes visible,
For of this much you can be certain: that neither the immoral nor the dirty-minded nor the covetous man (which latter is, in effect, worshipping a false god) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Don’t let anyone fool you on this point, however plausible his argument. It is these very things which bring down the wrath of God upon the disobedient. Have nothing to do with men like that—once you were “darkness” but now you are “light”. Live then as children of the light. The light produces in men quite the opposite of sins like these—everything that is wholesome and good and true. Let your lives be living proofs of the things which please God. Steer clear of the activities of darkness; let your lives show by contrast how dreary and futile these things are. (You know the sort of things I mean—to detail their secret doings is really too shameful). For light is capable of “showing up” everything for what it really is. It is even possible (after all, it happened to you!) for light to turn the thing it shines upon into light also. Thus God speaks through the scriptures: “Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”
But all these things when they are reproved by the light are made manifest, for the light is that which manifests everything.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
but all things exposed by the light are made visible,
But when you expose them, the light shines in upon their sin and shows it up, and when they see how wrong they really are, some of them may even become children of light!
Don’t waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It’s a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Rip the cover off those frauds and see how attractive they look in the light of Christ. Wake up from your sleep, Climb out of your coffins; Christ will show you the light! So watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times!
But all things are exposed when they are revealed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
· But everything that is exposed becomes illuminated by the light,
Light exposes the true character of everything
but everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.
However, everything that is exposed by the light is made visible,
But the light makes all things easy to see,
But all things being exposed by the light are made visible.
But everything the light shines on can be seen. And everything that the light shines on becomes a light.
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible – and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
All things can be seen when they are in the light. Everything that can be seen is in the light.
But their evil intentions will be exposed when the light shines on them,
But all things, when they are rebuked by the light, are manifest. For whatsoever is manifest, that same is light.
but everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
but everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
but everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
but everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
But everything becomes visible when it’s exposed to the light,
But everything being exposed by HaOhr (Light) becomes visible,
But all things, when they are exposed by the light, are made visible. For it is light that makes all things visible.
but when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.
but when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.
Yet everything exposed by the light is being made visible,
When the light shines, it exposes even the dark and shadowy things and turns them into pure reflections of light. This is why they sing, Awake, you sleeper! Rise from your grave, And the Anointed One will shine on you.
But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.
But when the light shines on something, it can be seen. Anything that shows up wrong ways is light.
And all things that be reproved of the light, be openly showed; for all thing that is showed, is light. [Forsooth all things that be reproved of the light, be made open; forsooth all thing that is made open, is light.]
and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;
