9. for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth –
10. trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.
11. Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
12. For the things they do in secret are shameful even to mention.
13. But all things being exposed by the light are made evident.
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.
22. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord,
23. because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church – he himself being the savior of the body.
