Lord, let our armour be Jesus Christ, Your only begotten Son

 Rm 13: 11-14 Besides, you know the time has come; the moment is here for you to stop sleeping and wake up, because by now our salvation is nearer than when we first began to believe. The night is nearly over, daylight is on the way; so let us throw off everything that belongs to the darkness and equip ourselves for the light. Let us live decently, as in the light of day; with no orgies or drunkenness, no promiscuity or licentiousness, and no wrangling or jealousy. Let your armour be the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop worrying about how your disordered natural inclinations may be fulfilled. 

We should not sleep in timidity; rather, Jesus urges us to be awaken in the Spirit of God. The salivation is extremely near and approachable in complete confidence, as Jesus has risen from the dead to deliver redemption to all people. We should believe in God's plan for our salvation. The night is gone, and the Light of Jesus has overcome the darkness of evil. So, in this way, we are asked to live decently in the light of Jesus, who has the authority to destroy all the principalities and ruling forces of evil. We should eliminate all orgies (ecstatic singing and dancing to worship the pagan gods) and promiscuity (a disordered sexual behavior; mixing with many people) intoxication and jealousy. We may never consider or worry about our unsatisfied disordered natural urges, which is a bad behavior.
