← 1 Thessalonians 5:3	1 Thessalonians 5:4 (KJV)	1 Thessalonians 5:5 →
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.	But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.	Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
