Ephesians 5:6-16
New King James Version
6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be (A)partakers with them.
Walk in Light
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are (B)light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for (C)the fruit of the [a]Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 (D)finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have (E)no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather [b]expose them. 12 (F)For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But (G)all things that are [c]exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
(H)“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
Walk in Wisdom
15 (I)See then that you walk [d]circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 (J)redeeming the time, (K)because the days are evil.
