4 You do not live in the dark. That day should not overtake you by surprise as a thief would.5 You are all the children sons of light, and the children of the day. We are not of the night, not of darkness.6 Therefore, let us not sleep like others do. But let us watch and be sober.7 They that sleep do so in the night. They that get drunk are drunk in the night.8 Let us be sober and put on the breastplate of faith and love; and the hope of salvation as a helmet.9 For God has not appointed us to experience his wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.
