1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. |
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. |
3 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. |
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. |
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. |
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. ... |
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, |
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. |
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. |
