Ephesians 5:12

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

For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.

It is shameful even to talk about the things that ungodly people do in secret.

It's a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see.

For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.

For it is shameful even to mention what such people do secretly;

For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

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

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.
