Romans 13:13

Let us walk honestly. Dishonesty seeks the night. The children of the day will walk honestly. This implies honest, upright, pure lives, which need no concealment.

Not in rioting. Nocturnal revels.

Not in chambering and wantonness. In lascivious vice.

Not in strife and envying. These followed naturally upon revels and drunkenness, and shameless sensuality. This passage is referred to by the great Augustine as the cause of his conversion. It rebuked his own sins, which were the common sins of his time. ("Confessions", 8.12).
