Ephesians 5:11-17

New American Standard Bible

^11 (A)Do not participate in the useless ^(B)deeds of ^(C)darkness, but instead even ^(D)expose them; ¹² for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. ¹³ But all things become visible ^(E)when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. ¹⁴ For this reason ^[a]it says,

¹⁵ So then, ^[b]be careful how you ^(I)walk, not ^(J)as unwise people but as wise, ^16 [c](K)making the most of your time, because ^(L)the days are evil. ¹⁷ Therefore do not be foolish, but ^(M)understand what the will of the Lord is.
