First letter to the Thessalonians 5:8

But we who belong to the day should be sober, clothed with faith and love as armor, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. [Faith, love, and hope are also found in the introduction, see 1 Thess 1:3. In the middle of these three words, as the central one, is love.]
