1 Thessalonians 5:6-8

6So then alet us not sleep, as others do, but let us bkeep awake and cbe sober. 7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, dare drunk at night. 8But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, ehaving put on the breastplate of ffaith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.

1 Peter 4:3-7

3For the time that is past gsuffices hfor doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of idebauchery, and jthey malign you; 5but they will give account to him who is ready kto judge the living and the dead. 6For this is why lthe gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.

7 mThe end of all things is at hand; therefore nbe self-controlled and sober-minded ofor the sake of your prayers.
