1 But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.2 For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.3 When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.4 But you, my brothers, are not in the dark, for that day to overtake you like a thief:5 For you are all sons of light and of the day: we are not of the night or of the dark.
