Ephesians 5:13

¹¹ Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

¹² For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.

¹⁴ So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

¹⁵ Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
