1 Thessalonians 5:6-10
New King James Version
6 (A)Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but (B)let us watch and be [a]sober. 7 For (C)those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk (D)are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, (E)putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For (F)God did not appoint us to wrath, (G)but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 (H)who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
