4 But you, Achim b'Moshiach, are not in choshech that the Yom should overtake you like a ganav.
5 For all of you are Bnei Ohr and Bnei Yom; we are not of the Lailah nor of the Choshech.
6 Therefore, let us not "sleep" as the rest, but let us keep awake with zililut da'as (sober-mindedness).
7 For the ones sleeping sleep balailah, and the ones indulging in shichrut (drunkenness) indulge in shichrut balailah.
8 But we, being Bnei Yom, let us be bnei zililut da'as (sons of sober-mindedness), having clothed ourselves with the choshen (breastplate) of emunah and ahavah (agape) and as a KOVAH (helmet, YESHAYAH 59:17) the tikvah of Yeshu'at Eloheynu.
9 Because Hashem did not appoint us to charon af (the burning wrath) but to the attainment of Yeshu'at Eloheinu through Adoneinu, Moshiach Yehoshua.
10 He is the one who made his histalkus and died on our behalf in order that whether we are [living] and awake or [passed away] and sleeping, we may live together with Moshiach.
