Ephesians 5:11-17
111Do not participateG4790 in the unfruitfulG175 2deedsG2041 of 3darknessG4655, but insteadG3123 evenG2532 45exposeG1651 them; 12for it is disgracefulG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of the things which are doneG1096 by them in secretG2931. 13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 6when they are 7exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457. 14For thisG1352 reasonG1352 8it saysG3004, “9AwakeG1453, sleeperG2518, And ariseG450 from 10the deadG3498, And ChristG5547 11will shineG2017 on you.”
15ThereforeG3767 12be carefulG991G199 howG4459 you 13walkG4043, not 14as unwiseG781 menG781 but as wiseG4680, 161516makingG1805 the mostG1805 of your timeG2540, becauseG3754 17the daysG2250 are evilG4190. 17SoG1223G3778 thenG1223G3778 do not be foolishG878, but 18understandG4920 whatG5101 the willG2307 of the LordG2962 is.
