11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

12 for the things in secret done by them it is a shame even to speak of,

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

13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.

14 wherefore he saith, `Arouse thyself, thou who art sleeping, and arise out of the dead, and the Christ shall shine upon thee.'

15 See, then, how exactly ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil;

16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
