I'm preaching on Eph 5:6-14 tomorrow and have discovered quite a recognizable structure to this pericope. I welcome anyone to peruse my diagram and outline here (both Greek and English included) and give me your thoughts.
Essentially I see one major point: v.6 - don't be deceived into living a life as those who are darkness as the wrath of God will come upon them.
There are two supporting statements:
1. Watch Your Company! (7-10)
2. Watch Your Conduct! (11-14)
Each of the two major statements have two clauses giving the reason (gar).
