²¹ And he said unto them, Is the lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, `and' not to be put on the stand?

¹⁵ Neither do `men' light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the stand; and it shineth unto all that are in the house.

³³ No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light.

¹⁶ And no man, when he hath lighted a lamp, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but putteth it on a stand, that they that enter in may see the light.

¹ Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee.

² For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

³ And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

⁷ But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit to profit withal.

³ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

⁴ nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, or jesting, which are not befitting: but rather giving of thanks.

⁵ For this ye know of a surety, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

⁶ Let no man deceive you with empty words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience.

⁷ Be not ye therefore partakers with them;

⁸ For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light

⁹ (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

¹⁰ proving what is well-pleasing unto the Lord;

¹¹ and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;

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

¹³ But all things when they are reproved are made manifest by the light: for everything that is made manifest is light.

¹⁴ Wherefore `he' saith, Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall shine upon thee.

¹⁵ Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise;

¹⁵ that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world,

¹⁶ holding forth the word of life; that I may have whereof to glory in the day of Christ, that I did not run in vain neither labor in vain.
