1 Thessalonians 5:2
NASB
1 Thes 5:2
&
For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.
1 Thes 5:3
&
While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.
1 Thes 5:4
&
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief;
1 Thes 5:5
&
for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;
1 Thes 5:6
&
so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and (Or {self-controlled}) sober.
1 Thes 5:7
&
For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night.
