1 Thessalonians 5:1-8
1NowG1161 as to the 1periodsG5550 and 2timesG2540, brothersG80 and sisters, you 3haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of anything to be writtenG1125 to you.
2For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 fullG199 wellG199 that 4the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 is comingG2064 5justG5613 likeG5613 a thiefG2812 in the nightG3571.
3WhileG3752 they are sayingG3004, “6PeaceG1515 and safetyG803!” thenG5119 7suddenG160 destructionG3639 8will comeG2186 uponG2186 them likeG5618 9laborG5604 painsG5604 upon a pregnantG1722G1064 woman, and they will not escapeG1628.
4But you, brothersG80 and sisters, are not in 10darknessG4655, soG2443 thatG2443 the dayG2250 would overtakeG2638 you 1112likeG5613 a thiefG2812;
5for you are allG3956 13sonsG5207 of lightG5457 and sonsG5207 of dayG2250. We are not of nightG3571 norG3761 of 14darknessG4655;
6soG686 thenG3767, let’s not 15sleepG2518 as 1617othersG3062 do, but let’s be alertG1127 and 1819soberG3525.
7For thoseG3588 who sleepG2518, sleepG2518 at nightG3571, and thoseG3588 who areG3182 drunkG3182, 20getG3184 drunkG3184 at nightG3571.
8But since 21we are of the dayG2250, let’s 22be 23soberG3525, having putG1746 on the 24breastplateG2382 of 25faithG4102 and loveG26, and as a 26helmetG4030, the 27hopeG1680 of salvationG4991.
