You are all sons of the light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled.
You are all sons of the light
John 12:36a "Put your trust in the light while you have it, so that you may become sons of light."
Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light ...
let us not be like others who are asleep
Romans 13:11 And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed.
but let us be alert
Matthew 25:13 "Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour."
and self-controlled
1 Peter 1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
1 Peter 4:7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray.
1 Peter 5:8-9 Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
