1 Tesalonicenses 5:7

7 Porque los que duermen, de noche duermen; y los que están borrachos, de noche están borrachos.

1 Tesalonicenses 5:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Thessalonians 5:7

For they that sleep, sleep in the night
The night is the usual season for sleep, and sleep is only for such who are in darkness, and are children of the night; and not proper to be indulged by such who are children of the day, and of the light:

and they that be drunken, are drunken in the night;
drunkenness is a work of darkness, and therefore men given to excessive drinking love darkness rather than light, and choose the night for their purpose. To be drunk at noon is so shameful and scandalous, that men who love the sin, and indulge themselves in it, take the night season for it; and equally shameful it is, that enlightened persons should be inebriated, either with the cares of this life, or with an over weening opinion of themselves.

1 Tesalonicenses 5:7 In-Context

5 Porque todos vosotros sois hijos de luz, é hijos del día; no somos de la noche, ni de las tinieblas.

6 Por tanto, no durmamos como los demás; antes velemos y seamos sobrios.

7 Porque los que duermen, de noche duermen; y los que están borrachos, de noche están borrachos.

8 Mas nosotros, que somos del día, estemos sobrios, vestidos de cota de fe y de caridad, y la esperanza de salud por yelmo.

9 Porque no nos ha puesto Dios para ira, sino para alcanzar salud por nuestro Señor Jesucristo;
