Romans 13:11-14
New American Standard Bible
11 Do this, knowing the time, that it is (A)already the hour for you to (B)awaken from sleep; for now [a]salvation is nearer to us than when we first believed. 12 (C)The night is almost gone, and (D)the day is near. Therefore let’s rid ourselves of (E)the deeds of darkness and put on (F)the armor of light. 13 Let’s [b](G)behave properly as in the day, (H)not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and debauchery, not in strife and jealousy. 14 But (I)put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh (J)in regard to its lusts.

An Urgent Appeal
11 Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is already the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers;(A) 12 the night is far gone; the day is near. Let us then throw off[a] the works of darkness and put on the armor of light;(B) 13 let us walk decently as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in illicit sex and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy.(C) 14 Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.(D)
