Duty to Live in the Light. 6^f Let no one deceive you with empty arguments, for because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the disobedient.^* 7So do not be associated with them. 8For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light,^g 9for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.^h 10Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.ⁱ 11Take no part in the fruitless works of darkness; rather expose them,^j 12for it is shameful even to mention the things done by them in secret; 13but everything exposed by the light becomes visible,^k 14for everything that becomes visible is light. Therefore, it says:^l

“Awake, O sleeper,

and arise from the dead,

and Christ will give you light.”^*
