The Word for Sunday, 3 December 2023
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)
| 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, |
| 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?” |
