1 Thessalonians 5:2-7 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.
          7For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

— 1 Thessalonians 5:2-7
