1 Now you do not need to have anything written to you about times and dates, brothers,
2 for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3 When people say, "There is peace and security," destruction will strike them as suddenly as labor pains come to a pregnant woman, and they will not be able to escape.
4 However, brothers, you are not in the darkness, in order that the day might surprise you like a thief.
5 For all of you are children of light and children of day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness.
