Ephesians 5:11-20

111Do not participate in the unfruitful 2deeds of 3darkness, but instead even 45expose them; 12for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. 13But all things become visible 6when they are 7exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. 14For this reason 8it says, “9Awake, sleeper, And arise from 10the dead, And Christ 11will shine on you.”

15Therefore 12be careful how you 13walk, not 14as unwise men but as wise, 161516making the most of your time, because 17the days are evil. 17So then do not be foolish, but 18understand what the will of the Lord is. 18And 19do not get drunk with wine, 20for that is 21dissipation, but be 22filled with the Spirit, 1923speaking to 24one another in 25psalms and 26hymns and spiritual 27songs, 28singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; 2029always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to 3031God, even the Father;
