for (A)you were formerly (B)darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as (C)children of light (for (D)the fruit of that light consists in all (E)goodness and righteousness and truth), 10 [a](F)trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 (G)And do not participate in the unfruitful (H)works of (I)darkness, but instead even [b](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 [c]exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. 14 For this reason [d]it says,

And arise from (M)the dead,
And Christ (N)will shine on you.”
