ACV(i)
2 For ye yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
3 For when they say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction approaches them, as the woman having birth pangs in her womb, and they will, no, not escape.
4 But ye, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the day would seize you as a thief.
5 Ye are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
6 So then let us not sleep, as also the others, but let us watch and be sober.
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are intoxicated get drunk at night.
