1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

²For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

³While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

          4But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.
          5For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
          6So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.

— 1 Thessalonians 5:2-6
