Ephesians 5:10-18
1012tryingG1381 to learnG1381 whatG5101 is pleasingG2101 to the LordG2962. 113Do not participateG4790 in the unfruitfulG175 4deedsG2041 of 5darknessG4655, but insteadG3123 evenG2532 67exposeG1651 them; 12for it is disgracefulG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of the things which are doneG1096 by them in secretG2931. 13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 8when they are 9exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457. 14For thisG1352 reasonG1352 10it saysG3004, “11AwakeG1453, sleeperG2518, And ariseG450 from 12the deadG3498, And ChristG5547 13will shineG2017 on you.”
15ThereforeG3767 14be carefulG991G199 howG4459 you 15walkG4043, not 16as unwiseG781 menG781 but as wiseG4680, 161718makingG1805 the mostG1805 of your timeG2540, becauseG3754 19the daysG2250 are evilG4190. 17SoG1223G3778 thenG1223G3778 do not be foolishG878, but 20understandG4920 whatG5101 the willG2307 of the LordG2962 is. 18And 21do not getG3182 drunkG3182 with wineG3631, 22for that is 23dissipationG810, but be 24filledG4137 with the SpiritG4151,
