1 Thessalonians 5:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ But you, brothers and sisters, are not ·living in darkness [^Lin darkness], and so that day will not ·surprise you [or overtake you] like a thief. ⁵ [^LFor] You are all ·people who belong to the light [^Lchildren/sons of the light] and ·who belong to [^Lchildren/sons of] the day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness. ⁶ So we should not be like other people who are sleeping [^Cspiritually], but we should be ·alert [awake] and ·have self-control [sober].
