1 Thessalonians 5

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.

⁹ For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
