Ephesians 5:5-19 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

5. For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

6. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things comes the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.

7. Be not therefore partakers with them.

8. For you were once darkness, but now are you light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

9. (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

10. Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

11. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

12. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.

13. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever does make manifest is light.

14. Therefore he says, Awake you that sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light.

15. See then that you walk carefully, not as fools, but as wise,

16. Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17. Therefore be not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.

18. And be not drunk with wine, in which is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

19. Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
