1 Thessalonians 5:2-6
English Standard Version
2 For you yourselves are fully aware that (A)the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then (B)sudden destruction will come upon them (C)as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you (D)are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all (E)children[a] of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 6 So then (F)let us not sleep, as others do, but let us (G)keep awake and (H)be sober.
