Romans 13:11-14
Wycliffe Bible
11 And we know this time, that the hour is now, that we rise from sleep; for now is our health near(er), than when we believed.[a]
12 The night went before, but the day hath approached [forsooth the day hath nighed]. Therefore cast we away the works of darknesses, and be we clothed in the armours of light [and be we clothed with the armours of light].
13 As in [the] day wander we honestly, not in superfluous feasts [not in oft eatings] and drunkennesses, not in beds [not in bedchambers] and unchastities, not in strife and in envy;
14 but be ye clothed in the Lord Jesus Christ, and do ye not the busyness of flesh in desires [and do ye not the care, or busyness, of flesh in desires].

New Matthew Bible
11 This also we know – I mean the season, that it is time now to awake out of sleep. For our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night has passed, and the day has come near. Let us therefore cast away the deeds of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13 Let us walk honourably, as in the daylight: not in revelry and drunkenness, nor in sleeping around and wantonness, nor in strife and envying, 14 but put on the Lord Jesus Christ. And do not make provision for the flesh, to fulfil its lusts.

Authorized (King James) Version
11 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. 12 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. 13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
