The Gentiles Bless Zion
60 Arise, (A)shine;
For your light has come!
And (B)the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.
2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
3 The (C)Gentiles shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.

60 “Arise,(A) shine, for your light(B) has come,
and the glory(C) of the Lord rises upon you.
2 See, darkness(D) covers the earth
and thick darkness(E) is over the peoples,
but the Lord rises upon you
and his glory appears over you.
3 Nations(F) will come to your light,(G)
and kings(H) to the brightness of your dawn.

Ephesians 5:3-15
New King James Version
3 But fornication and all (A)uncleanness or (B)covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 (C)neither filthiness, nor (D)foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, (E)which are not fitting, but rather (F)giving of thanks. 5 For [a]this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any (G)inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be (H)partakers with them.
Walk in Light
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are (I)light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for (J)the fruit of the [b]Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 (K)finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have (L)no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather [c]expose them. 12 (M)For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But (N)all things that are [d]exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
(O)“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
Walk in Wisdom
15 (P)See then that you walk [e]circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,

Ephesians 5:3-15
New International Version
3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality,(A) or of any kind of impurity, or of greed,(B) because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk(C) or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.(D) 5 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a person is an idolater(E)—has any inheritance(F) in the kingdom of Christ and of God.[a](G) 6 Let no one deceive you(H) with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath(I) comes on those who are disobedient.(J) 7 Therefore do not be partners with them.
8 For you were once(K) darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light(L) 9 (for the fruit(M) of the light consists in all goodness,(N) righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord.(O) 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,(P) but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light(Q) becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:
15 Be very careful, then, how you live(U)—not as unwise but as wise,
