Live as children of light

You were once darkness,
but now you are light in the Lord.

Live as children of light,
for light produces
every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.

Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness;
rather expose them,
for it is shameful even to mention
the things done by them in secret;
but everything exposed by the light becomes visible,
for everything that becomes visible is light.

Therefore, it says:
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will give you light.”


(Today's Epistle: Ephesians 5:8-14)
