‏ Ephesians 5:14

Wherefore he saith ( διο λεγε ). Apparently a free adaptation of Isa 26:19; 60:1. The form αναστα for αναστηθ (second person singular imperative second aorist active of ανιστημ ) occurs in Ac 12:7.

Shall shine ( επιφαυσε ). Future active of επιφαυσκω, a form occurring in Job (Job 25:5; 31:26), a variation of επιφωσκω. The last line suggests the possibility that we have here the fragment of an early Christian hymn like 1Ti 3:16.
