Ephesians 5:11-14

Walk in Love

11 g Take no part in the h unfruitful i works of darkness, but instead j expose them. 12 For k it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13 But when l anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,

14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
m "Awake, O sleeper,
and n arise from the dead,
and o Christ will shine on you."
