In this passage, Paul continues his ethical instruction about the believer's response to living in a context where gross sins of darkness prevail. Recapping the dominant thought of the previous text (vv7-10), Christians are commanded not to participate in the unfruitful works of darkness, and then relates an additional positive duty and obligation for believers to expose those kinds of sins rather than participate in them. This command to expose sin calls upon the Christian to apply the law to both believers and unbelievers who are living in sins of darkness and to press the law upon the mind of those caught up in sin in order to bring them to mental conviction about transgression of divine law and point them toward the path of repentance. In verse 14 Paul concludes his exhortation with a Biblical promise that penitent sinners will be experience amendment of life through the gospel of Jesus Christ.
