Exegesis
The adversative allʼ hina elthē eis phanerón {ἀλλʼ ἵνα ἔλθῃ εἰς φανερόν | áll hína él-thē eis pha-ne-rón} ‘but so that it may come into the open’ contrasts parallel purpose clauses, underscoring that concealment is temporary and aimed at disclosure. English supplies words like “thing” or “anything” to render the neuter substantives naturally while preserving hina’s teleological nuance.
Root and etymology

In context — Mark 4:22
For nothing is hidden except for it to be revealed, and nothing has been kept secret except for it to come into the open .
