Ephesians 5:6-13
61See that noG3367 oneG3367 deceivesG538 you with emptyG2756 wordsG3056, for becauseG1223 of theseG3778 thingsG3778 2the wrathG3709 of GodG2316 comesG2064 upon 3the 4sonsG5207 of disobedienceG543.
7ThereforeG3767 do not becomeG1096 5partnersG4830 with them;
8for 6you were onceG4218 7darknessG4655, but nowG3568 you are lightG5457 in the LordG2962; walkG4043 as 8childrenG5043 of lightG5457
9(for 9the fruitG2590 of the lightG5457 consists in allG3956 10goodnessG19, righteousnessG1343, and truthG225),
101112as you tryG1381 toG1381 learnG1381 whatG5101 is pleasingG2101 to the LordG2962.
1113Do not participateG4790 in the uselessG175 14deedsG2041 of 15darknessG4655, but insteadG3123 evenG2532 16exposeG1651 them;
12for it is disgracefulG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of the things which are doneG1096 by them inG2931 secretG2931.
13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 17when they are exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457.
