Ephesians 5 — Context

Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him.

Have no part with such men;

For you at one time were dark, but now are light in the Lord: let your behaviour be that of children of light

(Because the fruit of the light is in all righteousness and in everything which is good and true),

Testing by experience what is well-pleasing to the Lord;

And have no company with the works of the dark, which give no fruit, but make their true quality clear;

For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.
