5:1BUT of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

5:2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

5:3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

5:4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5:5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

5:6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

5:7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

5:8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

5:9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

5:10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
