1. But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that ye should be written to,
2. for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief by night.
3. When they may say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon her that is with child; and they shall in no wise escape.
4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief:
5. for all ye are sons of light and sons of day; we are not of night nor of darkness.
6. So then do not let us sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober;
