1 Thessalonians 5:4 · American Standard Version

1 Thessalonians 5:4 in context

  1. 2For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
  2. 3For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.
  3. 4But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
  4. 5You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,
  5. 6so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
