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.

1 Thessalonians 5:6-10
New American Standard Bible
6 so then, let’s not (A)sleep as [a](B)others do, but let’s be alert and [b](C)sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk, (D)get drunk at night. 8 But since (E)we are of the day, let’s (F)be [c]sober, having put on the (G)breastplate of (H)faith and love, and as a (I)helmet, the (J)hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for (K)wrath, but for (L)obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 (M)who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.
