This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
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.
