Kehilah In Ephesus 5:6-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. Let no one deceive you with empty dvarim. For, because of these things the Charon Af Hashem comes upon the Bnei HaMeri (sons of Rebellion).

7. Therefore, do not be shuttafim (partners) with them.

8. For you were once Choshech, but now you are Ohr (Light) in Hashem. Fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech as yeladim of HaOhr.

9. For the p'ri HaOhr is in doing chesed and tzedek and emes,

10. Proving that which is well-pleasing be'einei Hashem (in the eyes of G-d).

11. And do not involve yourself in the ma'asei haChoshech (works of darkness), those works without p'ri; but rather even expose them.

12. For as to the things being done by them under cover of secrecy, it brings bushah (shame) and is a bizayon (disgrace) even to speak of them.

13. But everything being exposed by HaOhr (Light) becomes visible,

14. For everything becoming visible is HaOhr (Light); therefore here is the meaning of these words, KUMI, ("Rise up!" YESHAYAH 51:17; 60:1), sleeper, and arise from the MESIM" YESHAYAH 26:19) AND Moshiach WILL SHINE ON YOU (YESHAYAH 60:1 2). [MALACHI 4:2]
