1 Thessalonians 5:8

8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

Ver. 8. Be sober ] Drunkenness misbeseemeth any man, but especially a saint; for it robs him of himself, and lays a beast in his room.

Putting on the breastplate of faith and love ] Faith is the forepart of this breastplate, whereby we embrace Christ, and love the hinder part thereof, whereby we embosom the saints.
