*
But as to the times and the seasons ,
brethren ,
you have no need to have anything written to you .
*
For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night .
*
When people say , "
There is peace and security ,"
then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child ,
and there will be no escape .
*
But you are not in darkness ,
brethren ,
for that day to surprise you like a thief .
*
For you are all sons of light and sons of the day ;
we are not of the night or of darkness .
*
So then let us not sleep ,
as others do ,
but let us keep awake and be sober .
*
For those who sleep sleep at night ,
and those who get drunk are drunk at night .
*
But ,
since we belong to the day ,
let us be sober ,
and put on the breastplate of faith and love ,
and for a helmet the hope of salvation .
*
For God has not destined us for wrath ,
but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ ,
*
who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him .
