1 Now as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.
2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3 While people are saying, »Peace and safety,« then destruction will come upon them suddenly as labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.
