1 Thessalonians 5:6 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 5

4 Mais vous, frères, vous n’êtes pas dans les ténèbres, pour que ce jour vous surprenne comme un voleur;

5 vous êtes tous des enfants de la lumière et des enfants du jour. Nous ne sommes point de la nuit ni des ténèbres.

6 Ne dormons donc point comme les autres, mais veillons et soyons sobres.

7 Car ceux qui dorment dorment la nuit, et ceux qui s’enivrent s’enivrent la nuit.

8 Mais nous qui sommes du jour, soyons sobres, ayant revêtu la cuirasse de la foi et de la charité, et ayant pour casque l’espérance du salut.
