1 Thessalonians 5:4-8

4But you, our Christian friends, know about these things. You are not like people who live in the dark. So when the great day of the Lord happens, it should not suddenly surprise you, like a robber might surprise you.

5All of you are people who belong to the light and to the day. We who are believers do not belong to the night or to the dark.

6So we must watch carefully. We should be like people who stay awake. We should not be like other people who are sleeping.

7It is at night that people sleep. It is at night that people become drunk.

8But we belong to the day, not to the night. So we should think clearly. We must prepare ourselves like a soldier who puts on his armour. We must continue to trust God and to love him. That will be like a metal shirt that keeps our body safe. We must also continue to hope that God will save us. That will be like a strong hat that keeps our head safe.
