Walk in the armor of God

Walk in the armor of God – 1 Thessalonians 5:4-9, 1 Thessalonians 5:18

1 Thessalonians 5:4-9, 1 Thessalonians 5:18

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in (remaining within) darkness (the absence of light), that (in order that) that day should overtake (lay hold of, to seize suddenly) you as a thief.

⁵ Ye are all the children (with origin to) of light (absolute light and underived), and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

⁶ Therefore let us not sleep (to compose oneself for sleep), as do others; but let us watch (keep awake) and be sober (sober minded, circumspect, temperate).

⁷ For they that sleep sleep (to compose oneself for 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 (to compose oneself for sleep), putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁹ For (But) God hath not appointed (appointed not) us to wrath, but to obtain (motion to the obtaining) salvation (safety and preservation) by (through) our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁸ In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
