READ IN CONTEXT · BSB
1 Thessalonians 5
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.
8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.
