Ephesians 5:14-16

New Life Version

¹⁴The Holy Writings say, “Wake up, you who are sleeping. Rise from the dead and Christ will give you light.” ^(A)

¹⁵So be careful how you live. Live as men who are wise and not foolish. ¹⁶Make the best use of your time. These are sinful days.

Ephesians 5:14-16

New International Version

¹⁴This is why it is said:

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

¹⁵Be very careful, then, how you live^(D)—not as unwise but as wise, ¹⁶making the most of every opportunity,^(E) because the days are evil.^(F)
