4 But ye, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the day would seize you as a thief.

5 Ye are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

6 So then let us not sleep, as also the others, but let us watch and be sober.

7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are intoxicated get drunk at night.

8 But we, being of the day, should be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and a helmet, the hope of salvation.

9 Because God appointed us not for wrath, but for an acquired possession of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us.
