Armor of Light

Rom. 13:8-14

Owe no one any thing, except to love one another; for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.

For this,

Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal,

Thou shall not bear false witness, Thou shalt not desire,

and, if there is any other commandment, it is briefly summed up in this saying, in this:

Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Love works no evil to the neighbor: love, therefore, is the fulfillment of the law.

And this, knowing the time, that it is the hour, at which we should have already awaked out of sleep;

for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.

The night is far spent, the day is at hand.

Let us therefore put off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

Let us walk becomingly as in the day,

not in riotings and drunkenness, not in lewdness and wantonness, not in contention and envy;

but put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.

Amen

INDUAMUR ARMA LUCIS

Rom. 13:8-14

Nemini quidquam debeatis, nisi ut invicem diligatis: qui enim diligit proximum, legem implevit.

Nam:

Non adulterabis: non occides: non furaberis: non falsum testimonium dices: non concupisces:

et si quod est aliud mandatum, in hoc verbo instauratur:

diliges proximum tuum sicut teipsum.

Dilectio proximi malum non operatur. Plenitudo ergo legis est dilectio.

Et hoc scientes tempus: quia hora est jam nos de somno surgere.

Nunc enim propior est nostra salus, quam cum credidimus.

Nox praecessit, dies autem appropinquavit.

Abjiciamus ergo opera tenebrarum, et induamur arma lucis.

Sicut in die honeste ambulemus:

non in comessationibus, et ebrietatibus, non in cubilibus, et impudicitiis, non in contentione, et aemulatione:

sed induimini Dominum Jesum Christum, et carnis curam ne feceritis in desideriis.

Amen
