The Latin Vulgate w/ Apocrypha VULA
New International Version NIV
7 nolite ergo effici participes eorum
7
Therefore do not be partners with them.
8 eratis enim aliquando tenebrae nunc autem lux in Domino ut filii lucis ambulate
8
For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
9 fructus enim lucis est in omni bonitate et iustitia et veritate
9
(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)
10 probantes quid sit beneplacitum Deo
10
and find out what pleases the Lord.
11 et nolite communicare operibus infructuosis tenebrarum magis autem et redarguite
11
Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 quae enim in occulto fiunt ab ipsis turpe est et dicere
12
It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.
13 omnia autem quae arguuntur a lumine manifestantur omne enim quod manifestatur lumen est
13
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
14 propter quod dicit surge qui dormis et exsurge a mortuis et inluminabit tibi Christus
14
This is why it is said: “Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15 videte itaque fratres quomodo caute ambuletis non quasi insipientes sed ut sapientes
15
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,
16 redimentes tempus quoniam dies mali sunt
16
making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
17 propterea nolite fieri inprudentes sed intellegentes quae sit voluntas Domini
17
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
