1 Thessalonians 5:4-10
4But you, brothersG80 and sisters, are not in 1darknessG4655, soG2443 thatG2443 the dayG2250 would overtakeG2638 you 23likeG5613 a thiefG2812;
5for you are allG3956 4sonsG5207 of lightG5457 and sonsG5207 of dayG2250. We are not of nightG3571 norG3761 of 5darknessG4655;
6soG686 thenG3767, let’s not 6sleepG2518 as 78othersG3062 do, but let’s be alertG1127 and 910soberG3525.
7For thoseG3588 who sleepG2518, sleepG2518 at nightG3571, and thoseG3588 who areG3182 drunkG3182, 11getG3184 drunkG3184 at nightG3571.
8But since 12we are of the dayG2250, let’s 13be 14soberG3525, having putG1746 on the 15breastplateG2382 of 16faithG4102 and loveG26, and as a 17helmetG4030, the 18hopeG1680 of salvationG4991.
9For GodG2316 has not destinedG5087 us for 19wrathG3709, but for 20obtainingG4047 salvationG4991 throughG1223 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
1021who diedG599 for us, soG2443 thatG2443 whetherG1535 we are awakeG1127 orG1535 asleepG2518, we will liveG2198 togetherG260 with Him.
