1 Thessalonians 5

² For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

³ While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

⁴ But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.

⁵ For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

⁶ So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.
