Live as 'Children of Light'- - ⁹ For the outcome of life in the Light may be seen in every form of goodness, righteousness, and sincerity-- ¹⁰ Always trying to find out what is pleasing to the Lord. ¹¹ Take no part in deeds of Darkness, from which no good can come; on the contrary, expose them. ¹² It is degrading even to speak of the things continually done by them in secret. ¹³ All such actions, when exposed, have their true character made manifest by the Light. ¹⁴ For everything that has its true character made manifest is clear as light. And that is why it is said--'Sleeper, awake! Arise from the dead, and the Christ shall give thee light!'
