John 7:5

"For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”"

Key Reflection

This verse emphasizes that true actions and beliefs should not remain hidden but should be lived openly and transparently. Jesus suggests that if one is performing good deeds or speaking truthfully, they should not try to keep it secret; instead, such actions should naturally lead one to share their faith with the world.
