And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. (Ephesians 5:11-12 NKJV)
EPHESIANS 5 IN ITS ENTIRETY.

I’ve always been a little confused by this verse. If we are supposed to expose the works of darkness, how do we do that without speaking about them? Any ideas?

I like what Wayne Barber writes “I think Paul is talking about something in line with what he said in verse 1. Don’t talk it, walk it. He is saying, “Since you now have a garment that is light, you don’t reprove the world by what you tell them. You reprove the world by how you live.” It is my garment that exposes what is going on around me. If I am not wearing my garment, then what I say means nothing anyway. When I am wearing my garment, the garment of love, the garment that reaches out and cares about other people, the garment that speaks of the righteousness and the holiness of God, then that garment begins to reprove the people around me. By wearing the garment of light, we reprove those acts of darkness around us. (Walking As Light)
