Ephesians 5:8-16
New International Version
8 For you were once(A) darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light(B) 9 (for the fruit(C) of the light consists in all goodness,(D) righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord.(E) 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness,(F) but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light(G) becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. 14 This is why it is said:
15 Be very careful, then, how you live(K)—not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity,(L) because the days are evil.(M)
1 Thessalonians 5:5-7
New International Version
5 You are all children of the light(A) and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep,(B) but let us be awake(C) and sober.(D) 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.(E)
