Romans 13:12

“The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let's therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let's put on the armor of light.”

Verse in context — Romans 13

Love doesn't harm a neighbor. Love therefore is the fulfillment of the law.

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let's therefore throw off the works of darkness, and let's put on the armor of light.

Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

A deep explanation of salvation by grace through faith in Christ.
