Ephesians 5:9-16
9(for 1the fruitG2590 of the LightG5457 consists in allG3956 2goodnessG19 and righteousnessG1343 and truthG225), 1034tryingG1381 to learnG1381 whatG5101 is pleasingG2101 to the LordG2962. 115Do not participateG4790 in the unfruitfulG175 6deedsG2041 of 7darknessG4655, but insteadG3123 evenG2532 89exposeG1651 them; 12for it is disgracefulG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of the things which are doneG1096 by them in secretG2931. 13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 10when they are 11exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457. 14For thisG1352 reasonG1352 12it saysG3004, “13AwakeG1453, sleeperG2518, And ariseG450 from 14the deadG3498, And ChristG5547 15will shineG2017 on you.”
15ThereforeG3767 16be carefulG991G199 howG4459 you 17walkG4043, not 18as unwiseG781 menG781 but as wiseG4680, 161920makingG1805 the mostG1805 of your timeG2540, becauseG3754 21the daysG2250 are evilG4190.
