^{1 Ref} But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.

^{2 Ref} For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

^{3 Ref} When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.

^{4 Ref} But you, my brothers, are not in the dark, for that day to overtake you like a thief:

^{5 Ref} For you are all sons of light and of the day: we are not of the night or of the dark.

^{6 Ref} So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.

^{1 Ref} But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you.

^{2 Ref} For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

^{3 Ref} When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.

^{4 Ref} But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:

^{5 Ref} for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;

^{6 Ref} so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

^{1 Ref} But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

^{2 Ref} For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

^{3 Ref} For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.

^{4 Ref} But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

^{5 Ref} You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness,

^{6 Ref} so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober.
