1 Thessalonians 5:1-5

1NowG1161 as to the 1timesG5550 and the epochsG2540, brethrenG80, you 2haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of anything to be writtenG1125 to you.

2For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 fullG199 wellG199 that 3the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 4will comeG2064 5justG5613 likeG5613 a thiefG2812 in the nightG3571.

3WhileG3752 they are sayingG3004, “6PeaceG1515 and safetyG803!” thenG5119 78destructionG3639 9will comeG2186 upon them suddenlyG160 likeG5618 10laborG5604 painsG5604 upon a woman with childG1722G1064, and they will not escapeG1628.

4But you, brethrenG80, are not in 11darknessG4655, that the dayG2250 would overtakeG2638 you 1213likeG5613 a thiefG2812;

5for you are allG3956 14sonsG5207 of lightG5457 and sonsG5207 of dayG2250. We are not of nightG3571 norG3761 of 15darknessG4655;
