1 Thessalonians 5:4-8 But you, my brethren, are not in darkness that that day shall overtake you as a thief.

Lamsa⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ But you, my brethren, are not in darkness that that day shall overtake you as a thief. ⁵ You are all the children of light, and the children of the day; and you are not the children of the night, nor the children of darkness. ⁶ Therefore let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For those who sleep, sleep in the night: and those who are drunken are drunken in the night. ⁸ But let us who are the children of the day, be alert, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet put on the hope of salvation.
