1 Thessalonians 5:7
The Day of the Lord
6So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.7For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.8But 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.
