Ephesians 4:12

4:12 to equip ¹  the saints for the work of ministry, that is, ²  to build up the body of Christ,

Ephesians 5:11

5:11 Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather ³  expose them. ⁴ 

[4:12]  ¹ tn On the translation of πρὸς τὸν καταρτισμὸν τῶν ἁγίων (pro" ton katartismon twn Jagiwn) as “to equip the saints” see BDAG 526 s.v. καταρτισμός. In this case the genitive is taken as objective and the direct object of the verbal idea implied in καταρτισμός (katartismo").

[4:12]  ² tn The εἰς (eis) clause is taken as epexegetical to the previous εἰς clause, namely, εἰς ἔργον διακονίας (ei" ergon diakonia").

[5:11]  ³ tn The Greek conjunction καὶ (kai) seems to be functioning here ascensively, (i.e., “even”), but is difficult to render in this context using good English. It may read something like: “but rather even expose them!”

[5:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “rather even expose.”
