1 Thessalonians 5:1-11

Common English Bible CEB

1 We don't need to write to you about the timing and dates, brothers and sisters.

2 You know very well that the day of the Lord is going to come like a thief in the night.

3 When they are saying, "There is peace and security," at that time sudden destruction will attack them, like labor pains start with a pregnant woman, and they definitely won't escape.

4 But you aren't in darkness, brothers and sisters, so the day won't catch you by surprise like a thief.

5 All of you are children of light and children of the day. We don't belong to night or darkness.

6 So then, let's not sleep like the others, but let's stay awake and stay sober.

7 People who sleep sleep at night, and people who get drunk get drunk at night.

8 Since we belong to the day, let's stay sober, wearing faithfulness and love as a piece of armor that protects our body and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

9 God didn't intend for us to suffer his wrath but rather to possess salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

10 Jesus died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with him.

11 So continue encouraging each other and building each other up, just like you are doing already.

New International Version NIV

1 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,

2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

3 While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.

5 You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.

7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.
