Romans 13:11-14 BBE See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith. (12) The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light, (13) With right behaviour as in the day; not in pleasure-making and drinking, not in bad company and unclean behaviour, not in fighting and envy. (14) But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

Romans 13:11-14 ALT And [do] this, knowing the time, that [it is] already the hour for us to be awakened out of sleep, for our salvation [is] now nearer than when we [first] believed. (12) The night is advanced [or, almost gone], but the day has drawn near; therefore, let us take off [fig., cease from] the deeds of the darkness, and let us put on [or, clothe ourselves with] the armor of the light. (13) As in day-time, let us walk about [fig., conduct ourselves] properly; not in drunken orgies and drunkennesses, not in promiscuities and flagrant sexual immorality, not in strife [or, bitter conflict] and jealous rivalry. (14) But put on [or, clothe yourselves with] the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop making provision for the flesh, for [its] desires [or, lusts].

Romans 13:11-14 ESV Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. (12) The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. (13) Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. (14) But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Romans 13:11-14 CEV You know what sort of times we live in, and so you should live properly. It is time to wake up. You know that the day when we will be saved is nearer now than when we first put our faith in the Lord. (12) Night is almost over, and day will soon appear. We must stop behaving as people do in the dark and be ready to live in the light. (13) So behave properly, as people do in the day. Don't go to wild parties or get drunk or be vulgar or indecent. Don't quarrel or be jealous. (14) Let the Lord Jesus Christ be as near to you as the clothes you wear. Then you won't try to satisfy your selfish desires.

Romans 13:11-14 KJV And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. (12) The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. (13) Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. (14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
