Ephesians 5:13

Ephesians 5:13

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

a. YLT: And all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;

b. ASV:  But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.

c. Darby Translation: But all things having their true character exposed by the light are made manifest; for that which makes everything manifest is light.

d. RSV: But when anything is exposed by the light it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.
