Ephesians 5:13-15

New Testament for Everyone

¹³But everything becomes visible when it’s exposed to the light, ¹⁴since everything that is visible is light. That’s why it says:

Wake up, you sleeper!
Rise up from the dead!
The Messiah will shine on you!

¹⁵So take special care how you conduct yourselves. Don’t be unwise, but be wise.

Ephesians 5:13-15

New International Version

¹³But everything exposed by the light^(A) becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. ¹⁴This is why it is said:

“Wake up, sleeper,^(B)
rise from the dead,^(C)
and Christ will shine on you.”^(D)

¹⁵Be very careful, then, how you live^(E)—not as unwise but as wise,

¹³But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

¹⁴Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

¹⁵See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
