1 Thessalonians 5:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord is coming just like a thief in the night.
3
While they are saying, 'Peace and safety!' then sudden destruction will come upon them like labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4
But you, brothers
and sisters,
are not in darkness, so that the day would overtake you like a thief;
5
for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;
6
so then, let’s not sleep as others do, but let’s be alert and sober.
7
For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk, get drunk at night.
8
But since we are of
the
day, let’s be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.
King James Version
Chapter 5
2
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3
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.
4
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8
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.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
2
For you yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.
3
When they say, "Peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4
But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the dark, for this day to surprise you like a thief.
5
For you are all children of light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness.
6
So then, let us not sleep, like the rest, but let us stay awake and be self-controlled.
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 self-controlled and put on the armor of faith and love, and a helmet of the hope of salvation.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
2
For you know quite well that the day of the Lord’s return will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night.
3
When people are saying, 'Everything is peaceful and secure,' then disaster will fall on them as suddenly as a pregnant woman’s labor pains begin. And there will be no escape.
4
But you aren’t in the dark about these things, dear brothers and sisters, and you won’t be surprised when the day of the Lord comes like a thief.
5
For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don’t belong to darkness and night.
6
So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.
7
Night is the time when people sleep and drinkers get drunk.
8
But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.
English Standard Version
Chapter 5
2
For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
3
While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
4
But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
5
For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.
6
So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
7
For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.
8
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
New International Version
Chapter 5
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.
New King James Version

For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.
4
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
5
You are all sons of light and sons 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.
7
For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
8
But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and
as
a helmet the hope of salvation.
