1. Now, brothers, as to the times and the seasons, you do not need to be written to.
2. For you yourselves know very well that the day of יהוה comes as a thief in the night.
3. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then suddenly destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape.
4. But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
5. For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
