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.

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

⁴But ye, brethren, are not in darkenesse, that that day should ouertake you as a thiefe.
