Letter to the Ephesians

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

For the things which are done by them in secret, it is a shame even to speak of.

But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that is revealed is light.

Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."

Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Therefore don't be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs; singing, and singing praises in your heart to the Lord;

giving thanks always concerning all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;
