1 Thessalonians 5:2-6
2For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 fullG199 wellG199 that 1the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 is comingG2064 2justG5613 likeG5613 a thiefG2812 in the nightG3571.
3WhileG3752 they are sayingG3004, “3PeaceG1515 and safetyG803!” thenG5119 4suddenG160 destructionG3639 5will comeG2186 uponG2186 them likeG5618 6laborG5604 painsG5604 upon a pregnantG1722G1064 woman, and they will not escapeG1628.
4But you, brothersG80 and sisters, are not in 7darknessG4655, soG2443 thatG2443 the dayG2250 would overtakeG2638 you 89likeG5613 a thiefG2812;
5for you are allG3956 10sonsG5207 of lightG5457 and sonsG5207 of dayG2250. We are not of nightG3571 norG3761 of 11darknessG4655;
6soG686 thenG3767, let’s not 12sleepG2518 as 1314othersG3062 do, but let’s be alertG1127 and 1516soberG3525.
