1 Thessalonians 5:4-8
New English Translation

4 But you, brothers and sisters,[a] are not in the darkness for the day to overtake you like a thief would. 5 For you all are sons of the light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of the darkness. 6 So then we must not sleep as the rest, but must stay alert and sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But since we are of the day, we must stay sober by putting on the breastplate[b] of faith and love and as a helmet our hope for salvation.[c]
