## Everything is revealed by the light ##

Just as light reveals things that were hidden in the physical world, so the light of Christ reveals the evil spiritual actions of unbelievers in the spiritual world. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## Awake, you who sleep, and rise from the dead ##

Unbelievers need to wake up from being dead spiritually just as a person who has died must come alive again in order to respond. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## Christ will shine on you ##

Christ will enable an unbeliever to understand his provision of forgiveness and new life just as light shows what is actually there that was hidden by darkness. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
