Tree Of Life Version

Ephesians 5:7-23 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

7. Therefore do not be partners with them.

8. For once you were darkness, but now in union with the Lord you are light. Walk as children of light

9. (for the fruit of light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

10. trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

11. Take no part in the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them—

12. for it is disgraceful even to mention the things that are done by them in secret.

13. Yet everything exposed by the light is being made visible,

14. for everything made visible is light. This is why it says, “Wake up, O sleeper! Rise from the dead, and Messiah will shine on you.”

15. So pay close attention to how you walk—not as unwise people but as wise.

16. Make the most of your time because the days are evil.

17. For this reason do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

18. And do not get drunk on wine, for that is recklessness. Instead, be filled with the Ruach,

19. speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your heart to the Lord—

20. always giving thanks for everything to God the Father, in the name of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

21. Also submit yourselves to one another out of reverence for Messiah—

22. wives to your own husbands as to the Lord.

23. For the husband is head of the wife, as Messiah also is head of His community—Himself the Savior of the body.
