Ephesians 5:11-17
New King James Version
11 And have (A)no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather [a]expose them. 12 (B)For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But (C)all things that are [b]exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
(D)“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
Walk in Wisdom
15 (E)See then that you walk [c]circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 (F)redeeming the time, (G)because the days are evil.
17 (H)Therefore do not be unwise, but (I)understand (J)what the will of the Lord is.

Ephesians 5:11-17
New International Version
11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,(A) but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light(B) becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:
15 Be very careful, then, how you live(F)—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity,(G) because the days are evil.(H) 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.(I)
