Live in the Light

5:6 Let nobody deceive you with empty words, for because of these things God’s wrath comes on the sons of disobedience.9 5:7 Therefore do not be partakers with them,10 5:8 for you were at one time darkness, but now you are11 light in the Lord. Walk as children of the light—5:9 for the fruit of the light12 consists in13 all goodness, righteousness, and truth—5:10 trying to learn14 what is pleasing to the Lord. 5:11 Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather15 expose them.16 5:12 For the things they do17 in secret are shameful even to mention. 5:13 But all things being exposed by the light are made evident. 5:14 For everything made evident is light, and for this reason it says:18

“Awake,19 O sleeper!20

Rise from the dead,

and Christ will shine on you!”21
