The Glory of Zion
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 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,
