1 Thessalonians 5:1-8

1But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you.

2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.

4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:

5for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;

6so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.

8But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
