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

¹³ Wherefore girding up the loins of your mind, be sober and set your hope perfectly on the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

⁵ for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;

¹¹ Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

¹⁷ And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

¹² The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

¹³ Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

¹⁶ withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil `one'.

¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

¹⁸ with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,

¹⁹ which we have as an anchor of the soul, `a hope' both sure and stedfast and entering into that which is within the veil;

⁷ but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

⁹ But ye are a elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for `God's' own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

³ Blessed `be' the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy begat us again unto a living hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

⁴ unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

⁵ who by the power of God are guarded through faith unto a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

³⁵ Cast not away therefore your boldness, which hath great recompense of reward.

³⁶ For ye have need of patience, that, having done the will of God, ye may receive the promise.

¹⁶ Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,

²³ Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

⁸ For ye were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord: walk as children of light

⁹ (for the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth),

²³ Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!

²⁴ That with an iron pen and lead They were graven in the rock for ever!

²⁵ But as for me I know that my Redeemer liveth, And at last he will stand up upon the earth:

²⁶ And after my skin, `even' this `body', is destroyed, Then without my flesh shall I see God;

²⁷ Whom I, even I, shall see, on my side, And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.

⁵ Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And `why' art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him `For' the help of his countenance.

¹¹ Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, `Who is' the help of my countenance, and my God.

⁵ Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise him, `Who is' the help of my countenance, and my God. Psalm 44 For the Chief Musician. `A Psalm' of the sons of Korah. Maschil.

²⁶ It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of Jehovah.

² through whom also we have had our access by faith into this grace wherein we stand; and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

³ And not only so, but we also rejoice in our tribulations: knowing that tribulation worketh stedfastness;

⁴ and stedfastness, approvedness; and approvedness, hope:

⁵ and hope putteth not to shame; because the love of God hath been shed abroad in our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given unto us.

²⁴ For in hope were we saved: but hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth?

²⁵ But if we hope for that which we see not, `then' do we with patience wait for it.

¹³ But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

⁷ in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

⁵ For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness.

¹ Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and `such' we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

² Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is.

³ And every one that hath this hope `set' on him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
