We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6 So then, let us not sleep like the rest, but let us be alert and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him. 11 Therefore, encourage one another and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
