But since we are of the day, we must stay sober by putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet our hope for salvation.
For God did not destine us for wrath but for gaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
He died for us so that whether we are alert or asleep we will come to life together with him.
Therefore encourage one another and build up each other, just as you are in fact doing.
