1 Thessalonians 5:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ While people are saying, “·We have peace and we are safe [^LPeace and safety/security],” they will be destroyed ·quickly [suddenly]. It is like pains that come quickly to a woman having a baby. Those people will not escape. ⁴ But you, brothers and sisters, are not ·living in darkness [^Lin darkness], and so that day will not ·surprise you [or overtake you] like a thief. ⁵ [^LFor] You are all ·people who belong to the light [^Lchildren/sons of the light] and ·who belong to [^Lchildren/sons of] the day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness.
