Ephesians 5:8-14
21st Century King James Version
8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now ye are 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 shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light, for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
14 Therefore He saith: “Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.”
