5. All of you are children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to night or darkness.
6. So then, let’s not sleep like the others, but let’s stay awake and stay sober.
7. People who sleep sleep at night, and people who get drunk get drunk at night.
8. Since we belong to the day, let’s stay sober, wearing faithfulness and love as a piece of armor that protects our body and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
9. God didn’t intend for us to suffer his wrath but rather to possess salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
