1 But as to times and dates it is unnecessary that anything be written to you.
2 For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3 While they are saying »Peace and safety!« then in a moment destruction falls upon them, like birth-pains on a woman who is with child; and escape there is none.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that daylight should surprise you like a thief;
5 for all of you are sons of Light and sons of the day. We belong neither to the night nor to darkness.
