1 Thessalonians 5

The Day of the Lord

1 About the times and the seasons:  * 5:1 Dn 2:21; Ac 1:7 Brothers and sisters, you do not need anything to be written to you. 2 For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord  * 5:2 Jl 2:1; Mt 25:13; Ac 2:20; Php 1:6 will come just like a thief  * 5:2 Jn 10:1 in the night. 3 When they say, "Peace and security," then sudden destruction  * 5:3 2Th 1:9 will come upon them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the dark, for this day to surprise you like a thief.  * 5:4 Jb 24:13–175 For you are all children of light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness.  * 5:5 Col 1:13
