Ephesians 5:11 in context

The verses around it, from 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,

13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for everything that is illuminated becomes a light itself.

14 So it is said: “Wake up, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”

15 Pay careful attention, then, to how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
