Charles Spurgeon Commentary Ephesians 5:11-12

"and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them; for the things which are done by them in secret it is a shame even to speak of." — Ephesians 5:11-12 (ASV)

It was so with the old pagan world in which Paul lived; he could not write or speak of those abominable vices, which defiled the age. But is London any better than Ephesus? Surely, old Corinth, which became a sink of sin, was not a worse Sodom than this great modern Babylon. There is great cause to say of the wicked even to this day, It is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
