5 You are all (A)sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 (B)Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but (C)let us watch and be [a]sober. 7 For (D)those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk (E)are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, (F)putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
