1 Thessalonians 5:8 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 5

6 Por tanto, no durmamos como los demás; antes velemos y seamos sobrios.

7 Porque los que duermen, de noche duermen; y los que están borrachos, de noche están borrachos.

8 Mas nosotros, que somos del día, estemos sobrios, vestidos de cota de fe y de caridad, y la esperanza de salud por yelmo.

9 Porque no nos ha puesto Dios para ira, sino para alcanzar salud por nuestro Señor Jesucristo;

10 El cual murió por nosotros, para que ó que velemos, ó que durmamos, vivamos juntamente con él.
