Ephesians 5:13

13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

13But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

13But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

13But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light [of God’s precepts], for 5:13 Paul, who was privileged to study under the brilliant Gamaliel (Acts 22:3), is probably speaking from the viewpoint of ancient Greek science. Even the philosopher Plato maintained that vision essentially is the process of light forming an image of an object it touches and conveying that image to the eyes. So Paul may mean that what is actually seen is an image composed of light (like the photographic process), and since light is always reliable and its physical properties are constant, nothing exposed to light escapes being revealed. Spiritually speaking, to the extent that a believer functions as Light (v 8), he will expose the sins of unbelievers simply by his presence, just as it is the nature of light to expose whatever it touches.it is light that makes everything visible.

13But everything exposed by the light becomes visible,5:13 SBL begins verse 14 after visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.

13But everything the light shines on can be seen. And everything that the light shines on becomes a light.
