Interesting, when you say "it gives the initiative to the divine", do you
mean that God is the one who reveals himself and is light? I like that
interpretation, yet I'm not sure that I agree with it in this context. After
all, verse 8 tells us:
HTE GAR POTE SKOTOS, NUN DE FOS EN KURIW
We were once darkness, but now, in the Lord, we are light. And that which
reveals itself is light, which is how we show ourselves to be different from
the ones who do deeds of darkness in secret.
