Ephesians 5:11-20
111Do not participateG4790 in the uselessG175 2deedsG2041 of 3darknessG4655, but insteadG3123 evenG2532 4exposeG1651 them; 12for it is disgracefulG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of the things which are doneG1096 by them inG2931 secretG2931. 13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 5when they are exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457. 14For thisG1352 reasonG1352 6it saysG3004, “7AwakeG1453, sleeperG2518, And ariseG450 from 8the deadG3498, And ChristG5547 9will shineG2017 onG2017 you.”
15SoG3767 thenG3767, 10be carefulG991G199 howG4459 you 11walkG4043, not 12as unwiseG781 peopleG781 but as wiseG4680, 161314makingG1805 theG1805 mostG1805 ofG1805 your timeG2540, becauseG3754 15the daysG2250 are evilG4190. 17ThereforeG1223G3778 do not be foolishG878, but 16understandG4920 whatG5101 the willG2307 of the LordG2962 is. 18And 17do not getG3182 drunkG3182 with wineG3631, 18in which there is 19debaucheryG810, but be 20filledG4137 with the SpiritG4151, 1921speakingG2980 to 22oneG1438 anotherG1438 in 23psalmsG5568 and 24hymnsG5215 and spiritualG4152 25songsG5603, 26singingG103 and makingG5567 melodyG5567 with your heartsG2588 to the LordG2962; 2027alwaysG3842 givingG2168 thanksG2168 for allG3956 thingsG3956 in the nameG3686 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 to our 28GodG2316 and FatherG3962;
