For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth, 10 proving what is well pleasing to the Lord. 11 Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light. 14 Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

For you were once darkness, but now you are light(A) in the Lord. Walk as children of light(B) for the fruit of the light[a] consists of all goodness, righteousness, and truth(C) 10 testing(D) what is pleasing(E) to the Lord. 11 Don’t participate in the fruitless(F) works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret. 13 Everything exposed by the light is made visible,(G) 14 for what makes everything visible is light. Therefore it is said:

Get up, sleeper,(H) and rise up from the dead,(I)
and Christ will shine on you.(J)
