1 Thessalonians 5:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ So we should not be like other people who are sleeping [^Cspiritually], but we should be ·alert [awake] and ·have self-control [sober]. ⁷ [^LFor] Those who sleep sleep at night. Those who get drunk get drunk at night. ⁸ But we belong to the day, so we should ·control ourselves [be sober]. We should ·wear faith and love to protect us [^Lput on the breastplate/body armor of faith and love], and the hope of salvation should be our helmet [Is. 59:17].
