^{4 Ref} But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:

^{5 Ref} for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;

^{6 Ref} so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

^{7 Ref} For they that sleep sleep in the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.

^{8 Ref} But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

^{9 Ref} For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

^{10 Ref} who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
