5for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;

6so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

7For they that sleep sleep in the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.

8But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

9For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

10who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.
