Ephesians 5:9-19
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
9(for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. 13But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, 14for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, "Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
15Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
16making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
17Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
18And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit,
19addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart,
