Walk Like Children of Light

7 Therefore do not be sharers[fn] with them, 8 for you were formerly darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live like children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth), 10 trying to learn what is well-pleasing to the Lord. 11 And do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak about the things being done by them in secret, 13 but all things exposed by the light are made visible, 14 for everything made visible is light. Therefore it says,

• Wake up, sleeper,
• and rise from the dead,
• and Christ will shine on you.[fn]

15 Therefore, consider carefully how you live, not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of the time because the days are evil.
