Exegesis
The verse opens with the negative particle ou {οὐ | oú} ‘not’ followed by the conjunction gar {γάρ | gár} ‘for’, introducing a general principle.
The clause ou gar estin krupton {οὐ γάρ ἐστιν κρυπτὸν | ou gár es-tin kryp-tòn} places estin ‘is’ in second position with krupton ‘hidden’ used substantively, yielding “there is nothing hidden.”
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 .
