12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
I especially like verse 12. The image of putting our darkness away and looking to the light reminds me of king Benjamin's counsel to turn our homes toward the temple. The visual of being armed with light is a powerful reminder that we once stood with Christ in the premortal world. It is our duty to do it again.
