revelation
Phanerosis is the making evident of the Spirit’s gift or of truth in an open presentation.
The two verses show a single use: the making evident of what is given by the Spirit or set forth as truth. In 1 Corinthians 12:7 it is given to each in connection with the Spirit, while 2 Corinthians 4:2 places it in an open presentation of the truth.
