1 But about the times and the seasons, brothers, ye have no need to be written to you.

2 For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

3 For when they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction approaches them, as the woman having birth pangs in her womb, and they will, no, not escape.

4 But ye, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the day would seize you as a thief.

5 Ye are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
