1 Thessalonians 5:1-9

1ButG1161 ofG4012 the timesG3588G5550 andG2532 the seasonsG3588G2540, brethrenG80, ye haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 that I write untoG1125 youG4771.

2ForG1063 yourselvesG846 knowG1492 perfectlyG199 thatG3754 the dayG3588G2250 of the LordG2962 soG3779 comethG2064 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571.

3ForG1063 whenG3752 they shall sayG3004, PeaceG1515 andG2532 safetyG803; thenG5119 suddenG160 destructionG3639 comethG2186 upon themG846, asG5618 travailG3588G5604 uponG3588 a woman withG1722 childG1064; andG2532 they shallG2192 notG3756G3361 escapeG1628.

4ButG1161 yeG4771, brethrenG80, areG1510 notG3756 inG1722 darknessG4655, thatG2443 that dayG3588G2250 should overtakeG2638 youG4771 asG5613 a thiefG2812.

5YeG4771 areG1510 allG3956 the childrenG5207 of lightG5457, andG2532 the childrenG5207 of the dayG2250: we areG1510 notG3756 of the nightG3571, norG3761 of darknessG4655.

6ThereforeG3767 let usG2518 notG3361 sleepG2518, asG5613 do othersG3062; butG235 let us watchG1127 andG2532 be soberG3525.

7ForG1063 theyG2518 that sleepG2518 sleepG2518 in the nightG3571; andG2532 theyG3184 that be drunkenG3182 are drunkenG3184 in the nightG3571.

8ButG1161 letG3525 usG1473, who areG1510 of the dayG2250, be soberG3525, putting onG1746 the breastplateG2382 of faithG4102 andG2532 loveG26; andG2532 for an helmetG4030, the hopeG1680 of salvationG4991.

9ForG3754 GodG3588G2316 hathG5087 notG3756 appointedG5087 usG1473 toG1519 wrathG3709, butG235 toG1519 obtainG4047 salvationG4991 byG1223 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547,
