1 Now concerning the times and seasons, brothers, you have no need for anything to be written to you. 2 For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 When people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will certainly not escape. 4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this day should catch you like *5:4 a thief ¦ thieves WHa thief. 5 *5:5 You ¦ For you CTYou are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of the darkness.
