1 Thessalonians 5:1-8
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;
6soG686 thenG686 let us not 16sleepG2518 as 1718othersG3062 do, but let us be alertG1127 and 1920soberG3525.
7For thoseG3588 who sleepG2518 doG2518 their sleepingG2518 at nightG3571, and thoseG3588 who getG3182 drunkG3182 getG3184 21drunkG3184 at nightG3571.
8But since 22we are of the dayG2250, let us 23be 24soberG3525, having putG1746 on the 25breastplateG2382 of 26faithG4102 and loveG26, and as a 27helmetG4030, the 28hopeG1680 of salvationG4991.
