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 (A)you were once (B)darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as (C)children of light (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,

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