1 Thessalonians 5
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
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;
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
6 Ref So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.
7 Ref For those who are sleeping do so in the night; and those who are the worse for drink are so in the night;
8 Ref But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.
9 Ref For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Ref Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.
