IT IS HIGH TIME TO AWAKE OUT OF SLEEP
ROMANS 13:8-14
OWE NO MAN
ANY THING,
BUT
TO LOVE ONE
ANOTHER:
FOR HE
THAT LOVETH ANOTHER
HATH
FULFILLED THE LAW.
FOR THIS,
THOU SHALT NOT
COMMIT ADULTERY,
THOU SHALT NOT KILL,
THOU SHALT NOT STEAL,
THOU SHALT NOT
BEAR FALSE WITNESS,
THOU SHALT NOT COVET;
AND
IF THERE BE ANY OTHER COMMANDMENT,
IT IS BRIEFLY
COMPREHENDED
IN THIS SAYING,
NAMELY,
THOU SHALT LOVE
THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF.
LOVE WORKETH
NO ILL
TO HIS NEIGHBOUR:
THEREFORE
LOVE IS THE FULFILLING
OF
THE LAW.
AND
THAT,
KNOWING THE TIME,
THAT NOW
IT IS HIGH TIME
TO
AWAKE 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
CAST OFF
THE WORKS OF DARKNESS,
AND
LET US PUT ON
THE ARMOUR OF LIGHT.
LET US WALK HONESTLY,
AS
IN THE DAY;
NOT IN RIOTING AND DRUNKENNESS,
NOT IN
CHAMBERING AND WONTONNESS, NOT IN
STRIFE AND ENVYING.
BUT PUT YE
ON
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST,
AND
MAKE NOT
PROVISION
FOR THE FLESH,
TO FULFIL
THE LUST THEREOF.
LOVE
