Phaneros describes what is openly apparent or becomes known rather than remaining hidden.

Across the supplied verses, the term marks matters, actions, identities, and qualities as openly apparent or brought into notice: concealed things are disclosed, a person or name becomes known, and conduct or progress is evident to others.

Senses in use

  1. Openly apparent or made known · dominant

    The forms describe what comes into public recognition or can be plainly observed. In Luke 8:17 the APB renders the clause about what is hidden becoming "clear" and coming "into the open"; in Acts 4:16, a sign performed through the men is presented as "manifest to all." The same use covers work becoming evident in 1 Corinthians 3:13, progress being evident to everyone in 1 Timothy 4:15, and a name becoming known in Mark 6:14.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB varies its presentation with "evident," "clear," "manifest," "known," and "revealed" across the verses. Because it translates whole clauses rather than aligning each English word to the Greek form, these are contextual presentations rather than fixed translations of the term.
