1 Thessalonians 5:4-8
English Standard Version
1 Thessalonians 5:4-8
English Standard Version
4 But you (A)are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all (B)children[a] of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6 So then (C)let us not sleep, as others do, but let us (D)keep awake and (E)be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, (F)are drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, (G)having put on the breastplate of (H)faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
