52:005:002 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
52:005:003 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.
52:005:004 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
52:005:005 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
52:005:006 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
52:005:007 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
52:005:008 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
52:005:009 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
52:005:010 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
52:005:011 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
