Ephesians 5:8-20

8for ye wereG1510 onceG4218 darknessG4655, but areG1510 nowG1161 lightG5457 in the LordG2962: walkG4043 as childrenG5043 of lightG5457 9(for the fruitG2590 of the lightG5457 is in all goodnessG19 and righteousnessG1343 and truthG225), 10proving what isG1510 well-pleasingG2101 unto the LordG2962; 11and have no fellowship with the unfruitfulG175 worksG2041 of darknessG4655, but ratherG3123 evenG2532 reprove them; 12for the things which areG1510 done by them in secret it isG1510 a shame evenG2532 to speakG3004 of. 13But all thingsG3956 when they areG1510 reproved areG1510 madeG5319 manifestG5319 by the lightG5457: for everythingG3956 that isG1510 madeG5319 manifestG5319 isG1510 lightG5457. 14Wherefore he saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and ariseG1453 from the deadG3498, and ChristG5547 shall shine upon thee.
