Ephesians 5:8-20

8for 1you were once 2darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as 3children of light 9(for 4the fruit of the light consists in all 5goodness, righteousness, and truth), 1067as you try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. 118Do not participate in the useless 9deeds of 10darkness, but instead even 11expose them; 12for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. 13But all things become visible 12when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. 14For this reason 13it says, “14Awake, sleeper, And arise from 15the dead, And Christ 16will shine on you.”

15So then, 17be careful how you 18walk, not 19as unwise people but as wise, 162021making the most of your time, because 22the days are evil. 17Therefore do not be foolish, but 23understand what the will of the Lord is. 18And 24do not get drunk with wine, 25in which there is 26debauchery, but be 27filled with the Spirit, 1928speaking to 29one another in 30psalms and 31hymns and spiritual 32songs, 33singing and making melody with your hearts to the Lord; 2034always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to our 35God and Father;
