Put On Christ
11 Besides this, knowing the time, it is already the hour(A) for you[a] to wake up from sleep,(B) for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.(C) 12 The night is nearly over, and the daylight is near,(D) so let us discard the deeds of darkness(E) and put on the armor of light.(F) 13 Let us walk with decency,(G) as in the daylight: not in carousing and drunkenness;(H) not in sexual impurity and promiscuity; not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ,(I) and make no plans to satisfy the fleshly desires.(J)

Romans 13:11-14
Lexham English Bible
11 And do this because you[a] know the time, that it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we believed. 12 The night is far gone, and the day has drawn near. Therefore let us throw off[b] the deeds of darkness and put on the weapons of light. 13 Let us live decently, as in the day, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and licentiousness, not in strife and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and do not make provision for the desires of the flesh.
