So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake. For those who are sleeping do so in the night; and those who are the worse for drink are so in the night; But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation. — 1 Thessalonians 5:6-8 | Bible in Basic English (BBE) The Bible in Basic English is in the public domain.
