NASB | 1 Thessalonians 5:6 so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Thessalonians 5:6 So then let us not sleep [in spiritual indifference] as the rest [of the world does], but let us keep wide awake [alert and cautious] and let us be sober [self-controlled, calm, and wise]. |
Subject: let us not sleep, but watch. |
Bible Note: When I read this passage in context I cannot escape the idea that he is saying live a life so that if the dreadful day comes upon us suddenly today, you will not be found in sin and as such unprepared. So if living holy and in faith (which are inseperable) or being awake and ready by living holy as if it could come today, then I will be blessed and not suffer the wrath of God, however if I were to fall asleep (as many are doing) and live in sin I will not be ready and that day will come upon me as it will all the children of disobedience. Does this teach whether we will go through the 7 year time of tribulation? I dont think it mentions that here, it does teach that the one awake will not suffer wrath , but the one asleep will. |
