New Testament

Ephesians 5:14-21 New English Translation (NET)

14. For everything made evident is light, and for this reason it says: “Awake, O sleeper! Rise from the dead,and Christ will shine on you!”

15. Therefore be very careful how you live – not as unwise but as wise,

16. taking advantage of every opportunity, because the days are evil.

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

18. And do not get drunk with wine, which is debauchery, but be filled by the Spirit,

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

20. always giving thanks to God the Father for each other in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,

21. and submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
