Ephesians 5:11

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather ° reprove them.

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

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

Ephesians 5:11

5:11 reprove. The Christian should not only refuse to compromise with the “unfruitful works of darkness,” but openly reprove and rebuke them.

Ephesians 5:14

5:14 he saith. This quotation is evidently a rather free translation and interpretation of Isaiah 60:1-3, as used and applied by the Holy Spirit.

Ephesians 5:16

5:16 Redeeming the time. Note also Colossians 4:5. Time is our most valuable possession and should not be squandered. Lost health can often be regained, and so can money and earthly possessions, but time wasted is gone forever. See notes on Psalm 90:10-12.
