Romans 13:11
Douay-Rheims
And that knowing the season; that it is now the hour for us to rise from sleep. For now our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
Augustine of Hippo
This relates to 2 Corinthians [6:2]: "Behold, now is the acceptable time, now is the day of salvation." Paul means by this the time of the gospel and the opportunity to save all those who believe in God.
