Ephesians 5:14

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

¹³ But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.

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,

¹⁶ redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

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