1 Now, brothers and sisters, we feel that you need to write about the time and the date.
1 Thessalonians 5: 1

2 You know very well that the day the Lord comes again will be as wonderful as when a thief comes at night.
1 Thessalonians 5: 2

3 People will say, “We are safe and secure.” At that moment, destruction will come very fast. This catastrophe will come just as a woman has to endure the pains of childbirth. And those people will not be saved.
1 Thessalonians 5: 3

4 But you, brothers and sisters, do not live in darkness. So that day will not surprise you like a thief.
1 Thessalonians 5: 4

5 You are all living in the light, and you belong to the day. We are not related to night or darkness.
1 Thessalonians 5: 5

6 So we should not live like other people. We must stay awake and be self-controlled.
1 Thessalonians 5: 6

7 People who sleep sleep at night. People who are addicted to alcohol are at night.
1 Thessalonians 5: 7

8 But since we are day, we must control ourselves. We must wear faith and love as our protective shield, and hope for salvation should be our helmet.
1 Thessalonians 5: 8

9 God did not choose us to endure his wrath. God chose us to be saved through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5: 9

10 Jesus died for us so that we can live together with him. When He comes, it doesn’t matter if we are alive or dead.
1 Thessalonians 5:10

11 So encourage and strengthen one another as you already do.
1 Thessalonians 5:11
