1 Thessalonians 5:4-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
4
But you, brothers
and sisters,
are not in darkness, so that the day would overtake you like a thief;
5
for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;
6
so then, let’s not sleep as others do, but let’s be alert and sober.
7
For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk, get drunk at night.
8
But since we are of
the
day, let’s be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9
For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10
who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.
11
Therefore, encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.
12
But we ask you, brothers
and sisters,
to recognize those who diligently labor among you and are in leadership over you in the Lord, and give you instruction,
King James Version
Chapter 5
4
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
4
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the dark, for this day to surprise you like a thief.
5
For you are all children of light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness.
6
So then, let us not sleep, like the rest, but let us stay awake and be self-controlled.
7
For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
8
But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled and put on the armor of faith and love, and a helmet of the hope of salvation.
9
For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10
who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.
11
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.
12
Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you,
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
4
But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief.
5
For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night.
6
So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.
7
Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk.
8
But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.
9
For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us.
10
Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever.
11
So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
12
Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance.

4
But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
5
For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.
6
So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
7
For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.
8
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
9
For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10
who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.

12
We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
