^{4 Ref} and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;

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

^{6 Ref} so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,

^{7 Ref} for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,

^{8 Ref} and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of salvation,

^{9 Ref} because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

^{10 Ref} who did die for us, that whether we wake -- whether we sleep -- together with him we may live;

^{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.
