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.”

ΠΡΟΣ ΕΦΕΣΙΟΥΣ 5:8-14
1894 Scrivener New Testament
8 ητε γαρ ποτε σκοτος νυν δε φως εν κυριω ως τεκνα φωτος περιπατειτε
9 ο γαρ καρπος του πνευματος εν παση αγαθωσυνη και δικαιοσυνη και αληθεια
10 δοκιμαζοντες τι εστιν ευαρεστον τω κυριω
11 και μη συγκοινωνειτε τοις εργοις τοις ακαρποις του σκοτους μαλλον δε και ελεγχετε
12 τα γαρ κρυφη γινομενα υπ αυτων αισχρον εστιν και λεγειν
13 τα δε παντα ελεγχομενα υπο του φωτος φανερουται παν γαρ το φανερουμενον φως εστιν
14 διο λεγει εγειραι ο καθευδων και αναστα εκ των νεκρων και επιφαυσει σοι ο χριστος

Ephesians 5:8-14
Young's Literal Translation
8 for ye were once darkness, and now light in the Lord; as children of light walk ye,
9 for the fruit of the Spirit [is] in all goodness, and righteousness, and truth,
10 proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord,
11 and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of the darkness and rather even convict,
12 for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,
13 and all the things reproved by the light are manifested, for everything that is manifested is light;
14 wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'

New American Standard Bible
8 for (A)you were once (B)darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as (C)children of light 9 (for (D)the fruit of the light consists in all (E)goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 [a](F)as you try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 (G)Do not participate in the useless (H)deeds of (I)darkness, but instead even (J)expose them; 12 for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things become visible (K)when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. 14 For this reason [b]it says,
