You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

Let us walk decently, as in the day, not in carousings and drunkenness, not in cohabitation and licentiousness, not in strife and envy.

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light

(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

But you are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of His possession, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from every sin.

For He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head. And He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was covered with zeal as a cloak.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

in the Word of Truth, in the power of God, through the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

Put on all the armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Therefore take up all the armor of God, that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God;

Oh, that my words were now written! Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!

For I know that my Redeemer is alive, and He shall stand at the latter time upon the earth;

Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not a stranger. O how my reins have been exhausted within me!

Why are you cast down, O my soul, and murmur within me? Hope in God; for I shall praise Him for the deliverance coming from His presence.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why do you murmur within me? Hope in God; for I still praise Him for the deliverance coming from the presence of my God.

Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why do you murmur within me? Hope in God; for I still praise Him for the deliverance coming from the presence of my God.

It is good that one should hope for the salvation of Jehovah, even in silence.

through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice on the hope of the glory of God.

and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope.

For we were saved by hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.

And now remain faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness out of faith.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting comfort and good hope by grace,

This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters in within the veil,

Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.

For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God. Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.

And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
