Romans 13:13-14 : Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chamber-ing and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. No Christian should be guilty of unseemly conduct. Love does not behave itself unseemly (1 Corinthians 13:5): A Christian man should be a gentleman--a gentle man. He should not stumble, as if he were walking in the dark; he should walk uprightly, as in the day. But if he does not walk in the light of the gospel, he is sure to stumble.
He should not be guilty of revelling and drunkenness the two usually go together. To revel is to engage in hilarious conduct, and the drunkard usually does that. "Not in chambering"--not in unchaste con-duct with the opposite sex "and wantonness"--lewd-ness. Strife and jealousy usually grow out of such conduct. Romans 13:14 is in contrast with Romans 13:13. Instead of indulging in such things as mentioned in Romans 13:13, we are to clothe ourselves with the characteristics manifested by our Lord while he was in the flesh--put ourselves completely under his authority, and let him always be our guide. We are to make his life our life.
We must make provision for the needs of our body, but not to fulfill its lusts. In short, the Christian must lead a clean life.
