Luke 12:35

Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.

That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.

And the hand of the LORD was on Elijah; and he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.
