1 Thessalonians 5:6
King James Version
6 Jun 2026
“Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.”
νήφω
To be sober, to be self-controlled, to be alert. Nepho. Be sober-minded be watchful. Spiritual alertness is not anxiety. It is disciplined awareness of the reality of spiritual warfare.
