You are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
All Commentaries on 1 Thessalonians 5:5 Go To 1 Thessalonians 5
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
You are the children of light. That is, there is little danger of thieves in the day time, when it is light. Also watch and have arms to defend you, the coat of mail of faith; the helmet of hope: you are under the protection of Christ, who died for you, and for your salvation. See St. Chrysostom, p. 293 (Witham)
