1 Thessalonians 5:2-8

Thomson(i) 2 for you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord cometh as a thief at night. 3 For whilst they are saying, there is peace and safety, sudden destruction is then upon them, like the pangs of a woman in travail, and they cannot escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that this day should break upon you at unawares as a thief. 5 You are all children of light and children of the day. We are not of night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep as others do; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they who sleep, sleep at night; and they who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But as we are of the day, let us be sober, arming ourselves with the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet with the hope of salvation.
