1 Thessalonians 5:2-8

Lamsa(i) 2 For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of our LORD comes just like a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say: Peace and tranquility; then sudden destruction will come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But you, my brethren, are not in darkness that that day shall overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day; and you are not the children of the night, nor the children of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night: and those who are drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us who are the children of the day, be alert, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and for a helmet put on the hope of salvation.
