New King James Version
26 Therefore I testify to you this day that I am (A)innocent[a] of the blood of all men. 27 For I have not [b]shunned to declare to you (B)the whole counsel of God. 28 (C)Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit (D)has made you overseers, to shepherd the church [c]of God (E)which He purchased (F)with His own blood. 29 For I know this, that after my departure (G)savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also (H)from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking [d]perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves. 31 Therefore watch, and remember that (I)for three years I did not cease to warn everyone night and day with tears.

Ephesians 5:10-20
New King James Version
10 (A)finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have (B)no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather [a]expose them. 12 (C)For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But (D)all things that are [b]exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says:
(E)“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
