Christian Transparency

For transparency:

2 Corinthians 3:2 " You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our[a] hearts, to be known and read by all."

“There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known” (Matt 10:26).

“For whatever is hidden is meant to be disclosed, and whatever is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open” (Mark 4:22)

“Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed” (James 5:16)

“Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops..." (Luke 12:1-3)

"Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no cause for stumbling."(1 John 2:9)

And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. (John 3:19-20)

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. (Proverbs 28:13)

Against Transparency:

Whoever covers an offense seeks love, but he who repeats a matter separates close friends. (Proverbs 17:9)

Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered. (Proverbs 11:13)
