12 For it is a shame even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.

13 But all things, when they are reproved, are revealed by the light, for everything that reveals is light.

14 Therefore he says, “Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise,

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
