kon-seÌ„l´ (παÏακαλυÌπτω, parakaluÌptoÌ„): Found but once in the New Testament (). The primary meaning is to cover by hanging something in front of the object hidden. The purpose of the one concealing is made prominent. There is, therefore, a reserve and studied progress in regard to the statement of facts, that is not always a suppression of truth (, ). God withholds more than He reveals (; compare ; ).
