Ephesians 5:6-11 Do not let anyone deceive you with empty words, for because of such things, the wrath of God will fall upon people who are disobedient to Him.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁶ Do not let anyone deceive you with empty words, for because of such things, the wrath of God will fall upon people who are disobedient [to Him]. ⁷ So, do not participate with such individuals, ⁸ for you people were once darkness [i.e., when living in sin], but now you are light in [fellowship with] the Lord. [So], live like people who belong to light [i.e., who live godly lives], ⁹ (for the product of light consists of everything good and right and true). ¹⁰ Then you will demonstrate [or, “learn about”] a life that is very pleasing to the Lord. ¹¹ Do not have fellowship with [people who practice] worthless deeds of darkness [i.e., sinful living], but expose them instead.
