Ephesians 5:12

For the things they do ¹  in secret are shameful even to mention.

2Sa 12:12; Pr 9:17; Ec 12:14; Jer 23:24; Lu 12:1,2; Ro 1:24-27; Ro 2:16; Eph 5:3; 1Pe 4:3; Re 20:12

¹ tn The participle τὰ…γινόμενα (ta…ginomena) usually refers to “things happening” or “things which are,” but with the following genitive phrase ὑπ᾿ αὐτῶν (Jup’ autwn), which indicates agency, the idea seems to be “things being done.” This passive construction was translated as an active one to simplify the English style.
