1 Thessalonians 5:1-6

Good News Translation w/ Apocrypha GNTA

1 There is no need to write you, friends, about the times and occasions when these things will happen.

2 For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come as a thief comes at night.

3 When people say, "Everything is quiet and safe," then suddenly destruction will hit them! It will come as suddenly as the pains that come upon a woman in labor, and people will not escape.

4 But you, friends, are not in the darkness, and the Day should not take you by surprise like a thief.

5 All of you are people who belong to the light, who belong to the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

6 So then, we should not be sleeping like the others; we should be awake and 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.
