Next Verse |
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
Note 26 at 1 Th. 5:7: Sleep and drunkenness, which symbolize being in a stupor, are associated with the night. That's when most people do those things. In contrast, the daytime is when people get up and work. Therefore, Paul is instructing us to act like people who are awake and to start doing what Christians are supposed to do.
