1 Tessalonicenses 5

4 *(Acts 26:18); Rom. 13:12; Eph. 5:8; 1 John 2:8But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all *Eph. 5:8sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 *Matt. 25:5Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but *Matt. 25:13; Mark 13:35; (1 Pet. 5:8)let us watch and be sober. 7 For *(Luke 21:34)those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk *Acts 2:15; 2 Pet. 2:13are drunk at night. 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, *Is. 59:17; Eph. 6:14putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For *Rom. 9:22God did not appoint us to wrath, *(2 Thess. 2:13)but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
