Ephesians 5:15 in context

The verses around it, from Ephesians 5.

11 Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.

12 For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.

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,

16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

19 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your hearts to the Lord,
