EPHESIANS 5:7-14 WALK IN LIGHT

Ephesians 5:7 Therefore do not be partakers with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), 10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. 13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. 14 Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."

V 7 Be not ye, therefore, (what?) partakers with them." The word partaker means partners. Don't join the world in its evil. The past is past.

We avoid immorality because it is not love, and because it satisfies our physical desires at the expense of others.
