ECB(i)
2 For yourselves know precisely that the day of Adonay comes thus - as a thief in the night.
3 For whenever they word, Shalom and security; then unexpected ruin stands over them - exactly as travail upon a woman having in womb; and they never no way escape.
4 And you brothers, are not in darkness, that the day overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all the sons of light and the sons of the day: we are neither of night nor of darkness.
6 So we sleep not as the rest; but we watch and are sober.
7 For whoever sleeps, sleeps in the night; and whoever intoxicates, intoxicates in the night.
8 And we, being of the day, be sober; enduing the breastplate of trust and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
