Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Put On The Weapons of The Light, And Make No Provision For The Flesh
11 And do this knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to arise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed. 12 The night is advanced, and the day has drawn-near. Therefore let us lay-aside[a] the works of the darkness and let us put-on the weapons[b] of the light. 13 Let us walk properly[c] as in the day[d]— not in revelries[e] and drunkenness[f], not in beds[g] and sensualities, not in strife and jealousy, 14 but put-on[h] the Lord Jesus Christ and do not be making provision[i] for the flesh, for its desires.
But No One Knows The Day And Hour, So Keep Watching And Be Prepared Always
36 “But no one knows about that day and hour— not even the angels of the heavens, nor the Son— except the Father alone. 37 For just as the days of Noah were, so will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving-in-marriage, until which day Noah entered into the ark, 39 and did not know until the flood came and took-away everyone, so also[a] will the coming of the Son of Man be. 40 At-that-time there will be two men in the field— one is taken, and one is left; 41 two women grinding at the mill— one is taken[b], and one is left. 42 Therefore keep-watching, because you do not know on which day your Lord is coming. 43 And you know[c] that saying, that if the house-master had known on which watch[d] the thief was coming, he would have kept-watch[e] and would not have allowed his house to be broken-into. 44 For this reason you also be prepared ones— because the Son of Man is coming at an hour which you do not expect.
