Ephesians 5:10-16 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

10. discerning what is pleasing to the Lord.

11. Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them.

12. For it is shameful even to mention what is done by them in secret.

13. Everything exposed by the light is made clear,

14. for what makes everything clear is light. Therefore it is said:Get up, sleeper, and rise up from the dead, and the Messiah will shine on you.

15. Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk — not as unwise people but as wise —

16. making the most of the time, because the days are evil.
