Efesus 5:10-11

5:10 trying to learn ¹  what is pleasing to the Lord. 5:11 Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather ²  expose them. ³ 

[5:10]  ¹ tn BDAG 255 s.v. δοκιμάζω 1 translates δοκιμάζοντες (dokimazonte") in Eph 5:10 as “try to learn.”

[5:11]  ² tn The Greek conjunction καὶ (kai) seems to be functioning here ascensively, (i.e., “even”), but is difficult to render in this context using good English. It may read something like: “but rather even expose them!”

[5:11]  ³ tn Grk “rather even expose.”
