Beth, Houston. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:58 NIV

      Gay Beck, Plain City, OH.

      Just this week, I was studying verses on the subject of the “Armor of God.” I read scriptures that illustrated putting on the full armor of God and clothing yourself with Jesus Christ. Romans 13:14 was one of the Bible passages that emphasized dressing in God’s Word.

      I looked up several translations for Romans 13:14 for comparison phrases. The Message has a great version.

      Romans 13:14 (The Message) Get out of bed and get dressed! Don’t loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ and be up and about!

      Ephesians 6:11-18 and Galatians 3:26-27 and Colossians 3:1-4 were verses that, also,illustrated being clothed in Christ.
