⁵ Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁷ Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:

¹⁹ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

⁴ I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.

¹³ Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

¹⁸ But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

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.
