-
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light—
-
Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them.
-
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this darkness, against evil, spiritual forces in the heavens.
