          1Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you.
          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.
          8But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.

          9For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
          10He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.
          11Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.
