1 Thessalonians 5:7 in context

The verses around it, from 1 Thessalonians 5.

3 While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

4 But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.

5 For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

6 So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.

7 For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.

9 For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

11 Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.
