# The night has advanced "The sinful time is almost over" or "It is as though the night is almost finished" # the day is near "the time of righteousness will begin soon" or "it is as though it will soon be day" # Let us therefore put aside the works of darkness "Let us therefore stop doing the evil things that people do in the dark" # let us put on the armor of light "let us start doing what is right. Doing this will protect us from what is evil, like armor protects a solider"
