What does Ephesians 5:9 mean?

Ephesians 5:9 highlights themes such as faith and obedience when read in context.

How should I apply Ephesians 5:9 today?

Read the surrounding passage, compare related cross references, and turn the verse into a short prayer and concrete action.

(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

7Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:

9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.

11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
