1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 - The Sudden Arrival Of The Day Of The Lord
1 But concerning the times and season, brothers, you have no need that I should write to you; 2 for you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. 3 When they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes, like pain upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape. 4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that the day should come upon you like a thief; 5 for you are all children of light, and children of day; we are not of night nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep as others, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that are drunk drink in the night; 8 but let us who are of day be sober, putting on a cuirass of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation, 9 for God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we may live together with him. 11 Wherefore exhort one another, and edify one another, as you also do.
