Éphésiens 5:13 Meaning and Commentary

Ephesians 5:13

But all things that are reproved
As all sins should be, by the ministers of the Gospel, and by other saints, and will be by God; either by his Spirit convincing of them, or by his judgments, and the letting out of his wrath and fury, either here or hereafter, for the punishment of them:

are made manifest by the light:
either by the saints, who are made light in the Lord, and detect and reprove the sins of others; or by the word of the Lord, which discovers the heinousness of sins; or by Christ the light of the world, who as Judge will bring to light the hidden things of darkness; or by the omniscience of God, to whom darkness and light are both alike

for whatsoever doth make manifest, is light;
this is true in things natural and spiritual, whether of the sun in the firmament, or of Christ the sun of righteousness; or of the divine word, or of good men.

Éphésiens 5:13 In-Context

11 et ne prenez point part aux oeuvres infructueuses des ténèbres, mais plutôt condamnez-les.

12 Car il est honteux de dire ce qu'ils font en secret;

13 mais tout ce qui est condamné est manifesté par la lumière, car tout ce qui est manifesté est lumière.

14 C'est pour cela qu'il est dit: Réveille-toi, toi qui dors, Relève-toi d'entre les morts, Et Christ t'éclairera.

15 Prenez donc garde de vous conduire avec circonspection, non comme des insensés, mais comme des sages;
