1 Thessalonians 5:2

Read in context

1 Thessalonians 5:1–4 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you.

2 For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

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

4 But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.
