1 Thessalonians5:8
But let us who are of the day, be sober. Temperate, as men usually are in the day-time.
Putting on the breast-plate of faith and love. This is a favourite comparison of the apostle Paul. See it explained at length Eph 6:14.
And for an helmet, the hope of salvation. Eph 6:17.
(c) "breast-plate of faith" Isa 59:17
