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

Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.

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

For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)

But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

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

For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.

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.

By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

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

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

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

Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

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 health of my countenance, and my God.

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

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

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

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

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

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

Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,

Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.

And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
