1 Thessalonians 5:2-4
Tree of Life Version
2 For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord[a] comes like a thief in the night. 3 When they are saying, “Shalom and safety,”[b] sudden destruction comes upon them like a woman having birth pains in the womb—there is no way they will escape. 4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the dark, so that the Day might overtake you like a thief.
