1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

Wycliffe Bible

5 But, brethren, of times and moments ye need not that I write to you.

² For ye yourselves know diligently, that the day of the Lord shall come, as a thief in the night.

³ For when they shall say peace is, and secureness, then sudden death shall come on them^[a], as sorrow to a woman that is with child, and they shall not escape.

⁴ But, brethren, ye be not in darknesses, that that day as a thief catch you.

⁵ For all ye be the sons of light, and sons of [the] day; we be not of night, neither of darknesses.

⁶ Therefore sleep we not as others; but wake we, and be we sober.

⁷ For they that sleep, sleep in the night, and they that be drunken, be drunken in the night.

⁸ But we that be of the day, be sober, clothed in the habergeon of faith and of charity, and in the helmet of hope of health [clothed in the habergeon of faith and charity, and in the helmet, hope of health].

⁹ For God putted not us [put not us] into wrath, but into the purchasing of health by our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ that was dead for us; that whether we wake, whether we sleep, we live together with him.

¹¹ For which thing comfort ye together, and edify ye each other, as [and] ye do.
