4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that "the Day" should come upon you like a bandit.5 For you are all sons of light, and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness.6 So then let us not be sleeping as do the rest, but let us be watchful and self-controlled.7 For those who are sleeping, sleep in the night, and those who are drunken, are drunken in the night.8 But let us who are of the day be self-controlled, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to win salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
