1 Thessalonians 5:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 For all of you are children of the light[a] and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So we must not fall asleep as the others do, but we must stay alert and sober.
7 Those who sleep do so at night, and those who get drunk do so at night.
