Ephesians 5:9-13

9(for 1the fruitG2590 of the lightG5457 consists in allG3956 2goodnessG19, righteousnessG1343, and truthG225),

1034as you tryG1381 toG1381 learnG1381 whatG5101 is pleasingG2101 to the LordG2962.

115Do not participateG4790 in the uselessG175 6deedsG2041 of 7darknessG4655, but insteadG3123 evenG2532 8exposeG1651 them;

12for it is disgracefulG150 evenG2532 to speakG3004 of the things which are doneG1096 by them inG2931 secretG2931.

13But allG3956 thingsG3956 becomeG5319 visibleG5319 9when they are exposedG1651 by the lightG5457, for everythingG3956 that becomesG5319 visibleG5319 is lightG5457.
