The Day of the Lord

⁵ For you are all _c children ₁ of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 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.
