Romans 13:11-14

11Do this, knowing the time, that it is 1already the hour for you to 2awaken from sleep; for now 3salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.

124The night is almost gone, and 5the day is near. Therefore let us lay aside 6the deeds of darkness and put on 7the armor of light.

13Let us 89behave properly as in the day, 10not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and sensuality, not in strife and jealousy.

14But 11put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh 12in regard to its lusts.
