8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye 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 doth make manifest is light. |
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. |
15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, |
16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. |
17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. |
18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein 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; |
