1 Thessalonians 5:3


← 1 Thessalonians 5:2 1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJV) 1 Thessalonians 5:4 →
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
