Ephesians 5:14

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you.

Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.

But we all, with unveiled face seeing the glory of the Lord as in a mirror, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord, the Spirit.

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him.

You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.

But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.

who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.

This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

By this God’s love was revealed in us, that God has sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.

Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.”

but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;

Watch! Stand firm in the faith! Be courageous! Be strong!

For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light,

Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.

in whom the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them.

while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.

Since then the children have shared in flesh and blood, he also himself in the same way partook of the same, that through death he might bring to nothing him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.

The last enemy that will be abolished is death.

Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more.

If we live by the Spirit, let’s also walk by the Spirit.

having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
