But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
But since we belong to the day
1 Thessalonians 5:5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
putting on faith and love as a breastplate
Ephesians 6:14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, ...
and the hope of salvation
Romans 8:24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all.
as a helmet
Isaiah 59:17 He (God) put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak.
Ephesians 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.
NOTES:
Armor
Romans 13:12 The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
2 Corinthians 6:7 ... in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left; ...
2 Corinthians 10:4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
Ephesians 6:13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
Ephesians 6:14 (See above)
Ephesians 6:15-16 ... and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Ephesians 6:17 (See above)
