34Come to your senses , and stop sinning; for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.
5For you are all children of light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness. 6So then, let us not sleep, like the rest, but let us stay awake and be self-controlled.
11Besides this, since you know the time, it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep, because now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. 12The night is nearly over, and the day is near; so let us discard the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13For this reason take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.
31Throw off all the transgressions you have committed, and get yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. Why should you die, house of Israel?
21Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
28So now, little children, remain in him so that when he appears we may have confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 29If you know that he is righteous, you know this as well: Everyone who does what is right has been born of him.
