1 Thessalonians 5:3

The Sudden Arrival Of The Day Of The Lord

² For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. ³ When they say, “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains come on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. ⁴ But you, brothers, are not in the dark, for this day to overtake you like a thief.
