Ephesians 5:13-17

13But all things become visible 1when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. 14For this reason 2it says, “3Awake, sleeper, And arise from 4the dead, And Christ 5will shine on you.”

15So then, 6be careful how you 7walk, not 8as unwise people but as wise, 16910making the most of your time, because 11the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but 12understand what the will of the Lord is.
