← Romans 13:11	Romans 13:12 (KJV)	Romans 13:13 →
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.
