1 Thessalonians 5

6 So then, we must not sleep like the rest, but must be on the alert and be self-controlled. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. 8 But because*Here "because" is supplied as a component of the participle ("are") which is understood as causal we are of the day, we must be sober, by*Here "by" is supplied as a component of the participle ("putting on") which is understood as means putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet the hope of salvation, 9 because God did not appoint us for wrath, but for the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
