KJV

NIV

8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
10 and find out what pleases the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
14 This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
