1. Now, brothers, we do not need to write to you about times and dates.
2. You know very well that the day the Lord comes again will be a surprise like a thief that comes in the night.
3. People will say, “We have peace and we are safe.” At that time they will be destroyed quickly, as pains come quickly to a woman having a baby. And those people will not escape.
4. But you, brothers, are not living in darkness. And so that day will not surprise you like a thief.
5. You are all people who belong to the light. You belong to the day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness.
