But of the times and the seasons, brethren, yee haue no need that I write vnto you.

For your selues knowe perfectly that the day of the Lord so commeth as a thiefe in the night.

For when they shal say, Peace and safety: then sudden destructio commeth vpon them, as trauaile vpon a woman with childe, and they shall not escape.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkenesse, that that day should ouertake you as a thiefe.

Yee are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkenesse.

Therefore let vs not sleepe, as doe others: but let vs watch and be sober.

For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that bee drunken, are drunken in the night.

But let vs who are of the day, bee sober, putting on the brestplate of faith and loue, and for an helmet, the hope of saluation.

For God hath not appointed vs to wrath: but to obtaine saluation by our Lord Iesus Christ,

Who died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him.

Wherefore, comfort your selues together, and edifie one another, euen as also ye doe.
