8. In the past you were full of darkness, but now you are full of light in the Lord. So live like children who belong to the light.
9. Light brings every kind of goodness, right living, and truth.
10. Try to learn what pleases the Lord.
11. Do not do the things that people in darkness do. That brings nothing good. But do good things to show that the things done in darkness are wrong.
12. It is shameful even to talk about what those people do in secret.
13. But the light makes all things easy to see.
14. And everything that is made easy to see can become light. This is why it is said:“Wake up, sleeper!Rise from death,and Christ will shine on you.”
