“Ye were sometime darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.” “This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,” for “if we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin,” so “that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God.” “As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him,” for “we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” So shall “ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,” and “walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto His kingdom and glory.” “He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.”
If we “walk in newness of life,”
Looking carefully how we tread,
We honor and glorify Him,
Our Lord who was raised from the dead.
