Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 1 Thessalonians 5:11 KJV ---- 4. But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the Day would overtake you as a thief: 5. for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night and not of darkness:1 6. we should therefore not sleep like the rest but we should be watchful and we should be sober. 7. For those who are sleeping sleep of night, and those who get drunk get drunk2 at night: 8. but, since we are of day, we should be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and of love and for a helmet the hope of salvation:3 (Isa. 59:17) 9. because God did not put us here to be subject to wrath but to gain salvation through our Lord Y’shua (Jesus) Messiah, 10. the One Who died instead of us, so that whether we would be awake or we would sleep we will live together with Him. 11. On this account you must continually exhort one another and you must steadily build up one another one on one, just as you are doing. ---- NOTES: 1 (v.5) Day speaks of light, while dawn alludes to redemption. Night alludes to exile, separation from God’s presence. 2 (v.7) This refers to being drunk from too much of any intoxicant. For more on the subject see Sorcery in Glossary. 3 (v.8) See note on v.5.
