What do you believe the following passage conveys (addressed to "the Church
WHICH IS HIS BODY"):
6 So then
we should not
sleep [G2518 (note: DIFFERENT Grk word from what was in chpt 4:13,14,15! [G2837 there] ; ) )] as the others [G3062], but
we should
watch [G1127] and
we should be sober.
7 For those sleeping [G2518], sleep [G2518] by night; and those becoming drunk, get drunk by night.
8 But we being of
the day should be sober,
having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet, the hope of salvation,
9 because God has not destined
us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through
[/BY MEANS OF] our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 the One having died for us,
so that whether we might watch [G1127] or we might sleep [G2518 - same two words as in v.6!], we may live together
with [G4862 - denoting 'UNION-with'] Him.
11 Therefore
encourage one another and
build up one another, just as also you are doing.
What do you believe this passage means? Particularly, the way in which "G2518" and "G1127" are USED here, in context.
