Ephesians 5:8-13
8for 1you were formerlyG4218 2darknessG4655, but nowG3568 you are LightG5457 in the LordG2962; walkG4043 as 3childrenG5043 of LightG5457
9(for 4the fruitG2590 of the LightG5457 consists in allG3956 5goodnessG19 and righteousnessG1343 and truthG225),
1067tryingG1381 to learnG1381 whatG5101 is pleasingG2101 to the LordG2962.
118Do not participateG4790 in the unfruitfulG175 9deedsG2041 of 10darknessG4655, but insteadG3123 evenG2532 1112exposeG1651 them;
12for it is disgracefulG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of the things which are doneG1096 by them in secretG2931.
13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 13when they are 14exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457.
