1 Thessalonians 5:4


← 1 Thessalonians 5:3 1 Thessalonians 5:4 (KJV) 1 Thessalonians 5:5 →
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.
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
