1 Thessalonians 5
3 While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4 But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.
5 For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
6 So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
