Luke 12:2

King James Version (1769)

2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Untruth

A common misinterpretation treats this verse as a promise that all personal secrets or private information will inevitably leak through human gossip or accidents, fostering paranoia about privacy or excusing intrusive prying into others' lives, whereas it specifically addresses hypocrisy and moral failings that God will reveal at judgment, not mundane hidden matters.

Truth

Jesus warns that nothing hidden or covered up will remain secret forever, emphasizing divine accountability where hypocrisy and concealed sins will be exposed, particularly in the light of God's judgment and the coming kingdom, urging believers to live transparently and fear God more than people.
