Ephesians 5:8-16

English Standard Version

⁸ for ^(A)at one time you were ^(B)darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. ^(C)Walk as children of light ⁹ (for ^(D)the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), ¹⁰ and ^(E)try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. ^11 (F)Take no part in the ^(G)unfruitful ^(H)works of darkness, but instead ^(I)expose them. ¹² For ^(J)it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. ¹³ But when ^(K)anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, ¹⁴ for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,

^15 (O)Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, ^16 (P)making the best use of the time, because ^(Q)the days are evil.
