Ephesians 5:13

Compare all

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.”

17 ^aTherefore do not be unwise, but ^bunderstand ^cwhat the will of the Lord is.

18 And ^ado not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,

19 speaking to one another ^ain psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making ^bmelody in your heart to the Lord,
