1 Thessalonians 5:2-7

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.
