You are all (A)sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. (B)Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but (C)let us watch and be [a]sober. For (D)those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk (E)are drunk at night. 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. For (G)God did not appoint us to wrath, (H)but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 (I)who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

11 Therefore [b]comfort each other and [c]edify one another, just as you also are doing.
