1 Thessalonians 5:6-8

The Day of the Lord

⁶ So then _d let us not sleep, as others do, but let us _e keep awake and _f be sober. ⁷ For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, _g are drunk at night. ⁸ But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, _h having put on the breastplate of _i faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
