Ephesians 5:7-14
7ThereforeG3767 do not be 1partakersG4830 with them; 8for 2you were formerlyG4218 3darknessG4655, but nowG3568 you are LightG5457 in the LordG2962; walkG4043 as 4childrenG5043 of LightG5457 9(for 5the fruitG2590 of the LightG5457 consists in allG3956 6goodnessG19 and righteousnessG1343 and truthG225), 1078tryingG1381 to learnG1381 whatG5101 is pleasingG2101 to the LordG2962. 119Do not participateG4790 in the unfruitfulG175 10deedsG2041 of 11darknessG4655, but insteadG3123 evenG2532 1213exposeG1651 them; 12for it is disgracefulG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of the things which are doneG1096 by them in secretG2931. 13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 14when they are 15exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457. 14For thisG1352 reasonG1352 16it saysG3004, “17AwakeG1453, sleeperG2518, And ariseG450 from 18the deadG3498, And ChristG5547 19will shineG2017 on you.”
