1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, all of you have no need that I write unto you.

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

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4 But all of you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 All of you are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
