Ephesians 5:8-14
Wycliffe Bible
8 For ye were sometime darknesses, but now ye be light in the Lord. Walk ye as the sons of light [Walk as the sons of light].
9 For the fruit of light is in all goodness, and rightwiseness, and truth.
10 And prove ye what thing is well pleasing to God. [Proving what is well pleasing to God.]
11 And do not ye commune to unfruitous works of darknesses; but more rather reprove ye [them].
12 For what things be done of them in privy, it is foul, yea, to speak.
13 And all things that be reproved of the light, be openly showed; for all thing that is showed, is light. [Forsooth all things that be reproved of the light, be made open; forsooth all thing that is made open, is light.]
14 For which thing he saith, Rise thou that sleepest, and rise up from death, and Christ shall lighten thee.[a]
