Put on Christ

11 And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time ato awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.  
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand. aTherefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and blet us put on the armor of light.  
13 aLet us walk1 properly, as in the day, bnot in revelry and drunkenness, cnot in lewdness and lust, dnot in strife and envy.  
14 But aput on the Lord Jesus Christ, and bmake no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

Romans 13:13

Honestly (eusxhmonwv). Paul is fond of the metaphor "walk" (peripatew), 33 times though not in the Pastoral Epistles. This old adverb (from eusxhmwn, graceful) occurs also in I Thessalonians 4:12; I Corinthians 14:40. The English word "honest" means honourable (Latin honor) and so decent. Wycliff translates 12:32 by "unhonest," "honesty," "honest" for "less honourable, honour, honourable."

Not in revelling (mh kwmoiv). Plural "revellings." See on Galatians 5:21.

Drunkenness (meqaiv). Plural again, "drunkennesses." See on Galatians 5:21.

In chambering (koitaiv). Plural also. See on Romans 9:10.

Wantonness (aselgeiaiv). Plural likewise. See on II Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19.

Not in strife and jealousy (mh eridi kai zhlw). Singular here, but some MSS. have the plural like the previous words. Quarrelling and jealousy go with the other vices (Shedd).
