Ephesians 5:10

Compare all

Walk in Light

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are ^alight in the Lord. Walk as children of light

9 (for ^athe fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

10 ^afinding out what is acceptable to the Lord.

11 And have ^ano fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather¹ expose them.

12 ^aFor it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.

13 But ^aall things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.

14 Therefore He says:
^a“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”

Walk in Wisdom

15 ^aSee then that you walk¹ circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

16 ^aredeeming the time, ^bbecause the days are evil.
