7. Therefore, do not choose to become participants with them.
8. For you were darkness, in times past, but now you are light, in the Lord. So then, walk as sons of the light.
9. For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and justice and truth,
10. affirming what is well-pleasing to God.
11. And so, have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead, refute them.
12. For the things that are done by them in secret are shameful, even to mention.
13. But all things that are disputed are made manifest by the light. For all that is made manifest is light.
14. Because of this, it is said: "You who are sleeping: awaken, and rise up from the dead, and so shall the Christ enlighten you."
15. And so, brothers, see to it that you walk cautiously, not like the foolish,
16. but like the wise: atoning for this age, because this is an evil time.
17. For this reason, do not choose to be imprudent. Instead, understand what is the will of God.
18. And do not choose to be inebriated by wine, for this is self-indulgence. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
19. speaking among yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual canticles, singing and reciting psalms to the Lord in your hearts,
20. giving thanks always for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God the Father.
21. Be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
22. Wives should be submissive to their husbands, as to the Lord.
23. For the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the Church. He is the Savior of his body.
24. Therefore, just as the Church is subject to Christ, so also should wives be subject to their husbands in all things.
