3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? (A)Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil.

3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.(A) 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.(B)

(E)“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”
Walk in Wisdom
15 (F)See then that you walk [c]circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, 16 (G)redeeming the time, (H)because the days are evil.
17 (I)Therefore do not be unwise, but (J)understand (K)what the will of the Lord is. 18 And (L)do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another (M)in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making (N)melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 (O)giving thanks always for all things to God the Father (P)in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

10 and find out what pleases the Lord.(A) 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,(B) but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light(C) 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(G)—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity,(H) because the days are evil.(I) 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.(J) 18 Do not get drunk on wine,(K) which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit,(L) 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit.(M) Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks(N) to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
