Ephesians 5:8-17

8for ye wereG1510 onceG4218 darknessG4655, but 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 agreeable to the LordG2962;

11and do not have fellowship with the unfruitfulG175 worksG2041 of darknessG4655, but ratherG3123 alsoG2532 reprove [them],

12for the things that areG1510 done by them in secret it isG1510 shamefulG150 evenG2532 to sayG3004.

13But all thingsG3956 having their true character exposed by the lightG5457 areG1510 madeG5319 manifestG5319; for that which makes everythingG3956 manifestG5319 isG1510 lightG5457.

14Wherefore he saysG3004, Wake up, [thou] that sleepest, and ariseG1453 up from among the deadG3498, and the ChristG5547 shall shine upon thee.

15SeeG991 thereforeG3767 howG4459 ye walkG4043 carefullyG199, not as unwise but as wiseG4680,

16redeeming the timeG2540, because the daysG2250 areG1510 evilG4190.

17For this reason be not foolishG878, but understandingG4920 what [is] the will of the LordG2962.
