# General Information:

# we belong to the day
|
|
|
|
Paul speaks of knowing the truth about God as belonging to the day. AT: "we know the truth" or "we have received the light of truth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|
|
|
|
# we must stay sober
|
|
|

# put on faith and love as a breastplate
|
|
|
|
As a soldier would put on a breastplate to protect his body, a believer who lives by faith and love will find protection. AT: "protect ourselves with faith and love" or "protect ourselves by trusting Christ and loving him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
|

# the certainty of future salvation for our helmet

|
|

|
|
|
|
# whether we are awake or asleep
|
