1 Thessalonians 5:5-8 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. For all of you are sons of light and sons of daytime; we are not of nighttime, nor of darkness.

6. Therefore, let us not sleep, as the rest do. Instead, we should be vigilant and sober.

7. For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are inebriated, are inebriated in the night.

8. But we, who are of the daylight, should be sober, being clothed with the breastplate of faith and of charity and having, as a helmet, the hope of salvation.
