13:13
We get more of the practicalities. We are to “walk properly as in the daytime”. We have the light of Christ, we know the truth, so we should live according to it. We then get a series of negatives, things we are not to do. We are not to indulge in orgies or drunkenness, nor in sexual immorality and sensuality. This is what the world does, and it does so because it dwells in darkness.
13:14
Then we get the positive. We are to “put on the Lord Jesus Christ”. This involves “making no provision for the flesh”. We do not live out of our natural self. This means not living according to overtly sinful desires, such as those mentioned in the previous verse, nor do we live out of fear. We seek to gratify the Lord, not the desires of the flesh.
