New International Reader's Version

Ephesians 5:12-16 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

12. It is shameful even to talk about what people who don't obey do in secret.

13. But everything the light shines on can be seen.

14. Light makes everything clear. That is why it is said, "Wake up, sleeper. Rise from the dead. Then Christ will shine on you."

15. So be very careful how you live. Do not live like people who aren't wise. Live like people who are wise.

16. Make the most of every opportunity. The days are evil.
