1. Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,
2. for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3. While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4. But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.
