# General Information:
In verses 8-10 the word "we" refers to all believers. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive]])
# we belong to the day
Paul speaks of knowing the truth about God as belonging to the day. Alternate translation: "we know the truth" or "we have received the light of truth" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"we know the truth" or "we have received the light of truth"
# we must stay sober
Paul compares being sober to exercising self-control. Alternate translation: "let us exercise self-control" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"let us exercise self-control"
# 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. Alternate translation: "protect ourselves with faith and love" or "protect ourselves by trusting Christ and loving him" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"protect ourselves with faith and love" or "protect ourselves by trusting Christ and loving him"
# the hope of salvation for our helmet
Here "hope of salvation" means a certainty that Jesus will save his people. Here "helmet" is a metaphor. As a helmet protects a soldier's head, assurance of salvation protects the believer. Alternate translation: "protect ourselves by being certain that Christ will save us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
"protect ourselves by being certain that Christ will save us"
