Ephesians 5:8-14
King James Version
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

Ephesians 5:8-14
New King James Version
Walk in Light
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are (A)light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for (B)the fruit of the [a]Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 (C)finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have (D)no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather [b]expose them. 12 (E)For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But (F)all things that are [c]exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
(G)“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
