Ephesians 5:14-21

14because light makes everything easy to see. That’s why it says: “Wake up, sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

15So then, be very careful how you live. Don’t live like foolish people but like wise people.

16Make the most of your opportunities because these are evil days.

17So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord wants.

18Don’t get drunk on wine, which leads to wild living. Instead, be filled with the Spirit

19by reciting psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs for your own good. Sing and make music to the Lord with your hearts.

20Always thank God the Father for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

21Place yourselves under each other’s authority out of respect for Christ.
