1 Thessalonians 5:8 Context
6Therefore let vs not sleepe, as doe others: but let vs watch and be sober. 7For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that bee drunken, are drunken in the night. 8But let vs who are of the day, bee sober, putting on the brestplate of faith and loue, and for an helmet, the hope of saluation. 9For God hath not appointed vs to wrath: but to obtaine saluation by our Lord Iesus Christ, 10Who died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him.

People's Bible Notes for 1 Thessalonians 5:8
1Th 5:8 Putting on the breastplate of faith and love. The exhortation to the soldierly duties of watchfulness and sobriety suggests the thought of a sentinel and his armor. Compare Eph 6:11,14. There the shield of faith is spoken of; here the breastplate. Both were for the defense of the body. Nothing will better protect the heart from evil thoughts and keep us watching than faith and love. For an helmet, the hope of salvation. See PNT "Eph 6:17". What a power to protect, a blessed hope of salvation through Christ.
