Ephesians 5:11-20

111Do not participate in the useless 2deeds of 3darkness, but instead even 4expose them; 12for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. 13But all things become visible 5when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. 14For this reason 6it says, “7Awake, sleeper, And arise from 8the dead, And Christ 9will shine on you.”

15So then, 10be careful how you 11walk, not 12as unwise people but as wise, 161314making the most of your time, because 15the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but 16understand what the will of the Lord is. 18And 17do not get drunk with wine, 18in which there is 19debauchery, but be 20filled with the Spirit, 1921speaking to 22one another in 23psalms and 24hymns and spiritual 25songs, 26singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord; 2027always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our 28God and Father;
