1 Thessalonians 5:7

Read in context

1 Thessalonians 5:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

6 So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.

7 For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.

9 For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
