Ephesians 5:8-21 TLB Self-Help Edition Tyndale 1984 For though once your heart was full of darkness, now it is full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it!
Because of this light within you, you should do only what is good and right and true.
Learn as you go along what pleases the Lord.
Take no part in the worthless pleasures of evil and darkness, but instead, rebuke and expose them.
It would be shameful even to mention here those pleasures of darkness which the ungodly do.
But when you expose them, the light shines in upon their sin and shows it up, and when they see how wrong they really are, some of them may even become children of light!
That is why God says in the Scriptures, "Awake, O sleeper, and rise up from the dead; and Christ shall give you light."
So be careful how you act; these are difficult days.
Don't be fools; be wise; make the most of every opportunity you have for doing good.
Don't act thoughtlessly, but try to find out and do whatever the Lord wants you to.
Don't drink too much wine, for many evils lie along that path; be filled instead with the Holy Spirit, and controlled by him.
Talk with each other much about the Lord, quoting psalms and hymns and singing sacred songs, making music in your hearts to the Lord.
Always give thanks for everything to our God and Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Honor Christ by submitting to each other.

Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them on secret.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light; for whatever doth make manifest is light.
Wherefore he saith, AWAKE THOU THAT SLEEPEST, AND ARISE FROM THE DEAD, AND CHRIST SHALL GIVE THEE LIGHT.
See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
Be Filled with the Spirit
And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
