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 armor of light.
All Commentaries on Romans 13:12 Go To Romans 13
John Chrysostom
AD 407
The day is calling us to get ready for the battle. Do not be afraid at the thought of bearing arms. It is a heavy and distasteful duty when we have to bear a visible suit of armor, but in this case it is desirable and worth it. For the arms we are called to bear are those of the light!
