4 However, brothers, you are not in the darkness, in order that the day might surprise you like a thief.
5 For all of you are children of light and children of day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness.

9 For God has not destined us for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
