28.69 · Know · Not Able To Be Known, Secret
secret, hidden, not able to be made known pertaining to not being able to be known, in view of the fact that it has been kept secret In a number of languages there may be complications involved in what could be regarded as a triple negation in the sense that ‘nothing,’ ‘secret’ (in the sense of ‘not known’), and ‘not be made known’ are all semantic negations. It may therefore be better to render MAT 10:26 as ‘everything that is now not known will be made known.’
In a number of languages ‘secret’ is regularly expressed as ‘not known’ or ‘what is kept from being known.’

26.1 · Psychological Faculties
Collocation: ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ (ἄνθρωπος)
the inner being, the inmost being, inwardly (idiom, literally: the hidden (person)) the psychological faculty, including intellectual, emotional, and spiritual aspects, in contrast with the purely physical aspects of human existence A strictly literal rendering of ἀλλ ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ Ἰουδαῖος might be misunderstood in ROM 2:29 to refer only to the fact of circumcision, which would be something which would normally not be evident.
In a number of languages it is quite impossible to speak of the psychological faculty of a person as being merely ‘that which is within.’ It is frequently necessary to refer to a particular organ of the body, for example, ‘the heart’ or ‘the liver’ or ‘the spleen.’ In some languages, however, one may refer to this faculty as being ‘the person who stands inside’ or ‘the real person’ or even ‘the other person.’
In LUK 17:21 the phrase ἐντὸς ὑμῶν in the statement ἰδοὺ γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν ‘look, God’s reign is within you’ may constitute a reference to the same inner being designated by the phrases ὁ ἔσω and ὁ ἐν τῷ κρυπτῷ. On this basis some scholars have suggested that the phrase ἐντὸς ὑμῶν can be interpreted as a potentiality for participation and hence be translated ‘within your grasp,’ but it is more likely that one should understand the phrase ἐντὸς ὑμῶν in LUK 17:21 as a spacial relationship, for example, ‘in your midst’ or ‘among you’ (see 83.9).
