2 For you yourselves know perfectly that athe day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then asudden destruction comes upon them, bas labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
4 aBut you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
5 You are all asons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
6 aTherefore let us not sleep, as others do, but blet us watch and be sober.
7 For athose who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk bare drunk at night.
8 But let us who are of the day be sober, aputting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.
9 For aGod did not appoint us to wrath, bbut to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 awho died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.
11 Therefore1 comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
