Ephesians 5:6-14 - Light Versus Darkness

⁶ Let no one deceive you with specious arguments; these are the vices that bring down God's anger on the sons of disobedience. ⁷ So avoid the company of such men. ⁸ For while once upon a time you were darkness, now in the Lord you are light; lead the life of those who are children of the light ⁹ (for the fruit of light consists in all that is good and right and true), ¹⁰ verifying what pleases the Lord. ¹¹ Have nothing to do with the fruitless enterprises of the darkness; rather expose them. ¹² One is indeed ashamed even to speak about what such men do in secret; ¹³ still, whatever the light exposes becomes illuminated ??for anything that is illuminated turns into light. ¹⁴ Thus it is said, 'Wake up, O sleeper, and rise from the dead; so Christ will shine upon you.'
