Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

5:13-14 “Awake, O sleeper”: This might be a fragment from an unknown Christian song, perhaps based on texts in Isaiah (cp. Isa 26:19; 52:1; 60:1). It calls on God’s people to turn from their sinful darkness and live in the full light of Christ.
It is unknown if this quotation is a combination of quotations from the prophet Isaiah or a quotation from a hymn sung by the believers.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
δὲ
but
The connecting word But introduces a contrast relationship. Hiding the shameful works of darkness now is in contrast to the light exposing them later.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πᾶν & τὸ φανερούμενον φῶς ἐστιν
everything & ¬which /being/_revealed light is
Paul makes this general statement in order to imply that God’s Word shows people’s actions to be good or bad. The Bible often speaks of God’s truth as if it were light that could reveal the character of something. Alternate translation: [if you compare everything to what God says, you could know if it is good or bad] See the UST.
