It sickens me to see that the Bible I use to use, NASB, says the fruit of the Light in Eph. 5:9. Not only that but in verse 8 it capitalizes Light twice! Here is the truth in the KJV. Ephesians: 5. 8. For 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;) You may be thinking, what is the big deal? Well the big deal is that light is a prominent word for New Agers and ancient occultists; Lucifer means light bearer and comes as an angel of light. These newer versions have been seriously corrupted. If you do the research you will see for yourself. I pray more Christians see the issues with modern versions, especially pastors who teach from these corrupt versions. Here is a great point from Gail Riplingers book New Age Bible Versions... The Greek pneuma or Spirit is leading Christians, but the phos or light is driving the New Age. As Christians, our power for living a life pleasing to God comes from the Holy Spirit. Gal. 5:22 and Eph. 5:9 enumerate the fruit of the Spirit. Christians are instructed not to quench the spirit that we may bear the fruit of the Spirit. New Agers tell us they are: ...instructed in the development of the Light (from The Science of the Soul).
