English Standard Version

Anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says, Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

Ephesians 5:13-14

Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.” Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

1 Corinthians 15:33-34 (ESV)

Ephesians 5 (English Standard Version)

10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.
11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
12 For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret.
13 But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible,
14 for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”
15 Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
16 making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.
17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

1 Corinthians 15 (English Standard Version)

30 Why are we in danger every hour?
31 I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day!
32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.”
33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”
34 Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?”
36 You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.

Light makes everything visible. That's why it's said, Wake up, those of you who are sleeping, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.

Ephesians 5:13-14

Don't be fooled: “bad company ruins good character.” Come to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! Some of you don't know God. I tell you this to shame you.

1 Corinthians 15:33-34

Ephesians 5 (Free Bible Version)

10 demonstrating what the Lord really appreciates.
11 Don't have anything to do with the pointless things that darkness produces—instead expose them.
12 It's shameful even to speak about the things such people do secretly,
13 but when anything is exposed by the light then it's revealed as it is. Light makes everything visible.
14 That's why it's said, “Wake up, those of you who are sleeping, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15 So be careful how you live your life, not foolishly, but wisely,
16 making the best use of opportunities because the days are evil.
17 So don't be ignorant—find out what the Lord's will is.

1 Corinthians 15 (Free Bible Version)

30 As for us, why do we place ourselves in danger hour after hour?
31 I die every day—let me say it bluntly, my brothers and sisters. This is just as sure as the pride I have for what Christ Jesus has done in you.
32 Humanly speaking, what would I gain by fighting with those people in Ephesus who were like wild animals, if the dead are not raised? If the dead are not raised, “let's eat and drink, for tomorrow we die”!
33 Don't be fooled: “bad company ruins good character.”
34 Come to your senses as you should, and stop sinning! Some of you don't know God. I tell you this to shame you.
35 Of course somebody will ask, “How exactly are the dead raised? What kind of body will they have?”
36 What a foolish question! What you sow doesn't sprout into life unless it dies.
37 When you sow, you don't sow the plant it will grow into, just the bare seed, whether wheat or whatever you're planting.
