4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that daylight should surprise you like a thief;
5 for all of you are sons of Light and sons of the day. We belong neither to the night nor to darkness.
6 So then let us not sleep, like the rest of the world, but let us keep awake and be sober.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who drink freely, drink at night.
8 But let us, belonging –as we do– to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
9 For God has not pre-destined us to meet His anger, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ;
