Ephesians 5:6-20

New King James Version

⁶Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. ⁷Therefore do not be ^(A)partakers with them.

Walk in Light

⁸For you were once darkness, but now you are ^(B)light in the Lord. Walk as children of light ⁹(for ^(C)the fruit of the ^[a]Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), ¹⁰^(D)finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. ¹¹And have ^(E)no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather ^[b]expose them. ¹²^(F)For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. ¹³But ^(G)all things that are ^[c]exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. ¹⁴Therefore He says:

^(H)“Awake, you who sleep,
Arise from the dead,
And Christ will give you light.”

Walk in Wisdom

¹⁵^(I)See then that you walk ^[d]circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, ¹⁶^(J)redeeming the time, ^(K)because the days are evil.

¹⁷^(L)Therefore do not be unwise, but ^(M)understand ^(N)what the will of the Lord is. ¹⁸And ^(O)do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, ¹⁹speaking to one another ^(P)in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making ^(Q)melody in your heart to the Lord, ²⁰^(R)giving thanks always for all things to God the Father ^(S)in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
