1 Thessalonians 5:1-6

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you:

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord shall so come as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say: Peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.

4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief.

5 For all you are the children of light and children of the day: we are not of the night nor of darkness.

6 Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do: but let us watch, and be sober.

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.
