⁸ For once you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord; walk as children of Light [live as those who are native-born to the Light]

⁵ for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We do not belong to the night nor to darkness.

⁸ And his master commended the unjust manager [not for his misdeeds, but] because he had acted shrewdly [by preparing for his future unemployment]; for the sons of this age [the non-believers] are shrewder in relation to their own kind [that is, to the ways of the secular world] than are the sons of light [the believers].
