Ephesians 5:11

(5:11-14) I find it interesting that behavior was not mentioned in discussing the "fruit" of light. Rather, here in the discussion associated with "darkness" we find attention focused on "deeds". It reminds us that "men love darkness better than light, for their deeds are evil" thus, we are to "expose them". There is a reason for simply exposing them by light and it is introduced by "for". Our path is not to loudly condemn those that are engaged in "fruitless deeds", rather to live in open contrast, letting our character speak to them and the Holy Spirit convict. We should not even mention what they are doing "in secret". "But" introduces a contrast--in contrast to our silence, our character (light) will expose the whole of their folly and disobedience
