Roma 13:11

Motivation to Godly Conduct

13:11 And do this ¹  because we know ²  the time, that it is already the hour for us to awake from sleep, for our salvation is now nearer than when we became believers.

[13:11]  ¹ tn Grk “and this,” probably referring to the command to love (13:8-10); hence, “do” is implied from the previous verses.

[13:11]  ² tn The participle εἰδότες (eidotes) has been translated as a causal adverbial participle.
