1. But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2. For ye know well that the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night.
3. For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction shall come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should take you as a thief.
5. Ye are all the sons of light, and the sons of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6. Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7. For those that sleep in the night, and those that are drunken are drunken in the night.
