|---|---|---|
And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
|
The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
|
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
