Luke 8:17 For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest, etc., that is to say, "There is now absolutely no light or truth veiled from men which it is not the intention and purpose of God to uncover and reveal to them as soon as they are able to receive it; nor was there ever, at any time, anything hidden from them which it was not for their good to hide from them for the time, and which was not disclosed to them so soon as it was for their good that the disclosure should be made. We have in this axiom and paradox — 1. The very charter of science. 2. A warrant for all honest inquiry. 3. A solid ground for hope. (S. Cox, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. |
