1 Thessalonians 5:4-8

4ButG1161 yeG4771, brethrenG80, areG1510 notG3756 inG1722 darknessG4655, thatG2443 that dayG3588G2250 should overtakeG2638 youG4771 asG5613 a thiefG2812.

5YeG4771 areG1510 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457, andG2532 the childrenG5207 of the dayG2250: we areG1510 notG3756 of the nightG3571, norG3761 of darknessG4655.

6ThereforeG3767 let usG2518 notG3361 sleepG2518, asG5613 do othersG3062; butG235 let us watchG1127 andG2532 be soberG3525.

7ForG1063 theyG2518 that sleepG2518 sleepG2518 in the nightG3571; andG2532 theyG3184 that be drunkenG3182 are drunkenG3184 in the nightG3571.

8ButG1161 letG3525 usG1473, who areG1510 of the dayG2250, be soberG3525, putting onG1746 the breastplateG2382 of faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26; andG2532 for an helmetG4030, the hopeG1680 of salvationG4991.
