Ephesians 5:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 (A)Let no man deceive you with vain words: for, for such things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 [a]Be not therefore companions with them.
8 For ye were once darkness, but are now [b]light in the Lord: walk as children of light.

- Ephesians 5:7 Because we are not so ready to anything as to follow evil examples, therefore the Apostle warneth the godly to remember always that the others are but as it were darkness, and that they themselves are as it were light. And therefore the others commit all villany (as men are wont in the dark) but they ought not only not to follow their examples, but also (as the property of the light is) reprove their darkness, and to walk so (having Christ that true light going before them) as it becometh wise men.
- Ephesians 5:8 The faithful are called light, both because they have the true light in them which lighteneth them, and also because they give light to others, insomuch, that their honest conversation reproveth the life of wicked men.
