Ephesians 5:13-17

13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 1when they are exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457. 14For thisG1352 reasonG1352 2it saysG3004, “3AwakeG1453, sleeperG2518, And ariseG450 from 4the deadG3498, And ChristG5547 5will shineG2017 onG2017 you.”

15SoG3767 thenG3767, 6be carefulG991G199 howG4459 you 7walkG4043, not 8as unwiseG781 peopleG781 but as wiseG4680, 16910makingG1805 theG1805 mostG1805 ofG1805 your timeG2540, becauseG3754 11the daysG2250 are evilG4190. 17ThereforeG1223G3778 do not be foolishG878, but 12understandG4920 whatG5101 the willG2307 of the LordG2962 is.
